CSAL encourages ongoing research on matters relating to tenure and contingency in the academy, both nationally and internationally. Through ALRA and its website, CSAL offers a research home for those undertaking scholarship in areas broadly defined as tenure studies and contingency studies. To meet this objective, the editors of ALRA invite a wide range of contributions, from the statistical to the historic/archival, from the theoretical to the applied, from the researched to the creative, and from empirical to essayist forms. Our editorial staff and reviewers include social scientists, artists, and theorists specializing in labor issues.
