I’m pleased to announce the launch of the Academe Blog. Just like our sister publication, Academe magazine, this blog will explore a wide range of topics in higher education—academic freedom, governance of colleges and universities, working conditions of contingent faculty and graduate employees, collective bargaining, faculty workplace issues, work-family balance, funding, and legislation affecting higher education–to name a few. One advantage of the blog is that it can cover issues that appear in the news in a more timely manner than our bimonthly magazine.

Though the blog is a publication of the American Association of University Professors, opinions published in it are those of the contributors and do not necessarily represent the policies of the AAUP.

Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/AcademeBlog.

Have a suggestion for us? See something in the news that deserves our attention and comment? Interested in contributing to the blog? We’d love to hear from you. E-mail us at academeblog@aaup.org.
