Session Description:

While graduate students have long been a source of cheap labor, recent attacks on organized labor, along with the scapegoating of educators, demonstrate the renewed need for a discussion of the experiences—both commonplace and novel—of graduate student exploitation. This roundtable includes narratives from those combating exploitative practices on the ground and explores strategies for fighting them at the local, state, national, and global levels.
