We​ ​hope​ ​you​ ​enjoyed​ ​​Volume​ ​1,​ ​Issue​ ​1​​ ​of​ ​​Academic​ ​Labor:​ ​Research​ ​and​ ​Artistry​ ​(ALRA),​ ​​a peer-reviewed​ ​open​ ​access​ ​academic​ ​journal​ ​launched​ ​in​ ​2016​ ​by​ ​the​ ​Center​ ​for​ ​the​ ​Study​ ​of​ ​Academic Labor​ ​(CSAL)​ ​at​ ​Colorado​ ​State​ ​University.​ ​The​ ​journal​ ​encourages​ ​ongoing​ ​research​ ​on​ ​matters​ ​relating to​ ​tenure​ ​and​ ​contingency​ ​in​ ​the​ ​academy,​ ​both​ ​nationally​ ​and​ ​internationally.​ ​Along​ ​with​ ​our​ ​center​ ​and web​ ​site,​ ​we​ ​offer​ ​a​ ​research​ ​home​ ​for​ ​those​ ​undertaking​ ​scholarship​ ​in​ ​areas​ ​broadly​ ​defined​ ​as​ ​tenure studies​ ​and​ ​contingency​ ​studies.​ ​To​ ​meet​ ​this​ ​objective,​ ​we​ ​invite​ ​a​ ​wide​ ​range​ ​of​ ​contributions,​ ​from​ ​the statistical​ ​to​ ​the​ ​historic/archival,​ ​from​ ​the​ ​theoretical​ ​to​ ​the​ ​applied,​ ​from​ ​the​ ​researched​ ​to​ ​the​ ​creative, and​ ​from​ ​empirical​ ​to​ ​essayist​ ​forms.​ ​Our​ ​editors​ ​and​ ​reviewers​ ​include​ ​social​ ​scientists,​ ​artists,​ ​and theorists​ ​specializing​ ​in​ ​labor​ ​issues.

Our​ ​second​ ​issue​ ​will​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​discussions​ ​of​ ​“the​ ​slow​ ​professor”​ ​and​ ​“surviving​ ​academe”—and​ ​efforts by​ ​academics​ ​to​ ​(re)gain​ ​control​ ​of​ ​their​ ​professional​ ​and​ ​personal​ ​lives.​ ​We​ ​see​ ​this​ ​issue​ ​offering solidarity​ ​with​ ​other​ ​workers​ ​who​ ​are​ ​seeking​ ​a​ ​workplace​ ​that​ ​demands​ ​less​ ​than​ ​the​ ​proverbial​ ​pound​ ​of flesh—i.e.,​ ​a​ ​workplace​ ​that​ ​respects​ ​one’s​ ​boundaries​ ​and​ ​one’s​ ​dignity.​ ​This​ ​issue​ ​will​ ​focus​ ​on​ ​how faculty,​ ​staff,​ ​and​ ​students​ ​persist​ ​under​ ​current​ ​academic​ ​conditions.​ ​Send​ ​us​ ​your​ ​manuscripts!​ ​We​ ​hope this​ ​issue​ ​will​ ​generate​ ​responses​ ​and​ ​will​ ​fuel​ ​a​ ​conversation​ ​that​ ​will​ ​take​ ​us​ ​forward.​ ​
