Workplace: A Journal for Academic Labor has just published its latest issue
at http://ices.library.ubc.ca/index.php/workplace

This special issue of Workplace, "Scholactivism," is a collaboration with
Cultural Logic and Works & Days.

Works & Days published the print edition of "Scholactivism." Shortly after
Cultural Logic published the online version of this issue in the fall of
2017, its web host, eserver.org<http://eserver.org/>, was shut down by Iowa State University.
ISU's action took nearly 50 journals and websites (and tens of thousands of
articles) offline. With Cultural Logic in limbo, Workplace stepped in to
make "Scholactivism" freely available online immediately.

There is no set timeline for Cultural Logic/eserver.org<http://eserver.org/> to reappear, but it
is our understanding that the eserver is moving to a new platform and will
be back in operation in the future. At that point, Cultural Logic will
republish "Scholactivism," but for now the editors of Workplace are pleased
to present this massive issue, edited by Joseph G. Ramsey.

Thanks for the continuing interest in our work,
