Abstract
Consider this essay an alternative gateway. In its
historically informed version of the University of Illinois'
motto, which expresses the intent of the school's founders,
learning and labor are recognized for their inherent
reciprocity. They are understood to be the necessary elements of
any education, whether it is the teaching that makes learning
possible, the learning that makes research meaningful, or the
sheer institutional support that gives learning and labor a place
to be. What follows is the story of our learning to be labor.
