FIELD WORK: An Experiment on Striking STEM Research at Dartmouth College
The Dartmouth graduate worker strike, launched on May 1st, 2024, was a direct outgrowth of the years of struggle and militant organizing by the workers who now comprise the long-haul tendency. Our strategy and entire framework was structured by lessons learned from those who came before us, and our eagerness to learn and apply these lessons was perhaps our greatest strength. With this in mind, we aim here to analyze how our implementation of these ideas unfolded in the context of Dartmouth’s particular social and organizational structure.
