Researchers and academic teachers are not just analysts and educators,
but as such also workers active under specific relations of production
and working conditions. They have experienced how the logic of the
business school and neoliberal capitalism have colonised universities.

This workshop marks the publication of the special issue "Academic
Labour, Digital Media and Capitalism" in the journal tripleC:
Communication, Capitalism & Critique (http://www.triple-c.at) (to be
published in January 2018).

We will hear presentations by experts who have contributed to the issue:
guest editor Thomas Allmer (University of Stirling) as well as Karen
Gregory (University of Edinburgh) and Jamie Woodcock (LSE). The workshop
will be chaired by WIAS Director and tripleC co-editor Christian Fuchs.

Today, universities are positioning themselves as active agents of
global capital, transforming urban spaces into venues for capital
accumulation and competing for international student populations for
profit. Steep tuition fees are paid for precarious futures.
Increasingly, we see that the value of academic labour is measured in
capitalist terms and therefore subject to new forms of control,
surveillance and productivity measures. Situated in this economic and
political context, the new special issue of tripleC (edited by Thomas
Allmer and Ergin Bulut) is a collection of critical contributions that
examine universities, academic labour, digital media and capitalism.
