John Guillory’s article, “(Pre)Professionalism: What Graduate Students Want”


Gregg Lambert, Assistant Professor of English & Textual Studies, Syracuse University, has written and published on the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, contemporary literary theory, aesthetics, and current debates regarding the fate of the Humanities' disciplines in the contemporary university. This lecture is a reply to Guillory's earlier article "(Pre)Professionalism: What Graduate Students Want" (MLA: Profession '97). It is drawn from an article that will soon appear in a special issue of __the minnesota review__ on "Academostars," and is part of a forthcoming book project titled __Report to the Academy__ on the university in the age of theory.
