Many workplace protections we take for granted were won through collective struggle. For Labor Day, Judith Stepan-Norris writes in Contexts about how unions raise wages, reduce inequality and give workers a collective voice, and what their decline costs us. Read here: doi.org/10.1177/1536...

My home state is set to hand a breakthrough to the German far right. It’s a disaster decades in the making | Marcus Böick
A sense of abandonment could make Saxony-Anhalt the first state government to be solely led by the AfD. But the party’s hollow promises will only make a dire situation worse, says historian Marcus Böick

our entire global financial system is currently leveraged to the hilt on the premise that it was good and right for a small cadre of US companies to steal all of the intellectual work ever produced by humanity and sell its back to us without credit or remuneration to the authors (plagiarism)

One of the most decisive consequences of the Spanish conquest of the Americas was the alphabetic revolution, which changed the forms of communication in indigenous societies. By putting language at the centre of his analysis, Serge Gruzinski develops a fresh perspective on colonization.

Now posted ahead of print: "Conceptualizing Academic Freedom," forthcoming, Annual Review of Political Science. (Uncorrected proofs, so a few minor edits different from the version that will be published in June.) doi.org/10.1146/annu...
Abstract
Academic freedom is an unusual and complex set of norms and practices. It arises out of the combination of the corporate self-governance of medieval universities and the spirit of disciplinary scientific inquiry in modern research universities. It combines a principle of antiorthodoxy as to conclusions with the robust associational self-governance of scholarly communities whose members evaluate one another as participants in that shared enterprise. It has never been easily or wholly embraced by wider societies; today it is under wholesale attack. This article combines conceptual, normative, and historical analyses of academic freedom as a general norm with attention to conflicts over it in the mid-to-late 2010s and early 2020s. Some genuinely hard cases and questions tested the meaning of academic freedom and university values well before the current crisis.
