What does politics of research mean: tenure: ensures flexibility for research, getting credentials more freedom, there are still negative implications with tenure/credentials. Money is central to improve your credentials tenure (competition based setting vs. unions) Entrepreneurial processes as taken over the institution (ubc does not operate as a corporation) Transformation to a corporate model (education and commercialization becomes increasing blurred) institutional pressures do not jive with creativity. You succeed by being competitive vs. collaborative work. Readings: migrant workers, farmers were only allowed to work in one form, political climate: conservative, white privilege, contracts are written to ensure limitations, benefits the employer/manager: control, power, cheaper labor: surplus value they gain is higher. Industry opinion: treating farmer workers as canadians: some workers are preferred over others.
