                            DOC-TALK
==================================================================

            We posted the following about an article in
            the September issue of Spin Magazine, 
            entitled, "Meet the New OverEducated
            Underclass." Doc-talkers might be interested 
            to contribute to a new journal devoted to
            addressing the issue.
            =========================================

This winter the Graduate Student Caucus of the MLA will be
launching _Workplace_, a peer-reviewed electronic journal
devoted to organizing a response to this situation. Those
interested in contributing articles or otherwise getting
involved should direct inquiries to editors Marc Bousquet
(pbousque@indiana.edu) and Kent Puckett (ksp6@columbia.edu).
