Report on Service Work Distribution and Compensation Among Graduate Students

This year, MAP ran a survey on the topic of graduate student service work recognition and compensation, hypothesizing that graduate students from marginalized groups are burdened with under-recognized and under-compensated service work in their departments. What we found strongly supported the claim that graduate students from marginalized groups are shouldering a disproportionately heavy load of service work, and in most departments, this work is unpaid and not even informally recognized.
