Episode 24 — Faculty (part-time/tenure) Labor Issues: Special Guest Dr. Arik Greenberg, Ph.D., of Loyola Marymount University, LA
Join our first part of a multi-episode extended set of conversations on Faculty Labor Issues in Higher Education with our special guest today, Dr. Arik Greenberg, Clinical Professor of Theology at Loyola Marymount University, Lost Angeles.
We might not agree on many issues in politics. That’s possible. But we’re both reaching across the aisle to have some inter-party dialogue here on the issue of Labor in Higher Education. No one is forcing us to have this conversation. Certainly, no one is paying us to have this conversation. We’re doing this because we both care very deeply about some very serious problems on college campuses in recent decades.
Dr. Greenberg is a distinguished, seasoned faculty member on Lost Angeles college campuses and brings a wealth of experience not only in teaching and administration but also in union organizing and peace march demonstrations.
This topic can get very complicated very quickly, but there is no other dialogue partner I can think of that can rise to that challenge with as much grace and humility as can Professor Greenberg. We are truly delighted that he stopped by to say a hi and stay awhile to get into the weeds a bit on this topic. And we do bring in some details, some specific numbers, so you can get a feel for what “part-time” professors get paid to teach college in Lost Angeles Ventura, and Orange County, California in recent decades.
The Republican Professor is a pro-improving-Faculty-Labor-Issues-on-Campus, pro-making-college-great-again podcast.
To move forward we have to listen carefully to each other and learn from each other, to forge relationships that are resilient enough to perdure through time.
