Her sophisticated analysis of the&nbsp;dialectical relationship between status and class makes a convincing&nbsp;argument about how status and gender contribute to, rather than&nbsp;impede, collective action. Her use of E.P. Thompson&#8217;s &#8220;moral economy&#8221; is innovative, and her analysis of white collar unionization in the&nbsp;context of a literature that focuses on blue collar workers is&nbsp;nuanced. There is much that still needs to be written about the&nbsp;history of employment in higher education in Canada, and Bufton&#8217;s work&nbsp;is a noteworthy contribution that furthers that cause.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her thesis, &nbsp;&#8220;Solidarity by Association: The Unionization of Faculty, Academic Librarians, and Support Staff of 杏吧原创 University (1973-1976),&#8221;&nbsp;is available through the 杏吧原创 Library and at <a title=\"CURVE | Martha Attridge Bufton Thesis\" href=\"https:\/\/curve.carleton.ca\/theses\/27658\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CURVE, 杏吧原创 University Research Virtual Environment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martha Attridge Bufton&#8217;s MA thesis was awarded&nbsp;the 2014 Eugene A.
