Adjunct? Contingent? Part-Time? Contract?Lecturer?Visiting?
What terms do you hear or use for those who teach in higher education on a per-course or non-permanent basis?

Adjunct, part-time, contingent, temporary, casual, visiting, or non-permanent instructors across higher education in the U.S. account for 76% of all university teaching

Contract Examples
The Good(real example)• $6000+ for 13-week
course• Instructor autonomy• 48/hr response (business
days only)
The Bad (real example)• $98/student no minimum,
8-week course• 24/hr student response (7-
days/week)• Min two sync sessions• Mark all assignments with
5 business days

Questionable practices
• No advanced warning – contracts are issued less than a week before classes begin
• Classes/contracts are cancelled without warning
• Education doctorates that require unpaid (or worse where the student pays) to be a TA or instructor for a course

Narratives Considerations• Is adjuncting a career, a path, or something
else?• Is flexible academic work exploitive or
empowering?• What effect does adjuncting have on
disciplines, theory, practice, and research?• How does organized labor / unions manage
knowledge workers?• How do contracts, appointments,
advancement, access, and equity work for part-time instructors?

Rebecca J. Hogue @rjhogue | Jeffrey M. Keefer @JeffreyKeefer
Narratives Considerations• What does power and privilege mean
when considering contract academics?• Is adjunct online teaching freeing,
exploitive, or something else?• Who really cares about research if tenure
is not a possibility?• Is there a narrative at all or are the
voices too diverse?
What other questions need to be asked?
