More time for this next one ~ December 31 for a June 2013 conference. Learn more about Katherine's exciting ideas for adjunct advocacy in a state where unionizing is not an option. Check out the Facebook page too
Hi all. I'm pursuing becoming part of the Strategic Planning Committee here at Kent State (or at least raising adjunct issues with the committee). Any advice or thoughts you have about your experiences with this? <br> Also, I would like to pursue launching Legislative Theatre sessions at universities to help us (contingent faculty, students, administrators, everybody) find policy solutions to adjunct-related issues. Something we would need to do is to have a mass training in Legislative Theatre, which I am happy to lead. Would people be interested in this? It's incredibly effective (Legislative Theatre is a branch of Theatre of the Oppressed, created by Augusto Boal). The annual Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed conference is being held in Oxford, Ohio in June 2013. I encourage everyone to attend! Katherine Burke
Sounds neat and an innovative approach ~ something to learn and post more about, http://ptoweb.wordpress.com/conference/ Thanks for the conference notice too. I notice that PTO has a Facebook too.New Faculty Majority Coalition

Ugh.Karen Zgoda
I don't understand why all the articles about adjuncts are behind paywalls. Sort of defeats the purpose, it seems. Who do we need to talk to about this?!Melissa Bruninga-Matteau
Is there a way we can reroute this to their Chronicle page now to have them see our discontent?Ana Maria Fores Tamayo
Not unless The Chronicle of Higher Education page is tagged in the original post, although tagging in comments as I've done here should show up on their news feed. If tended by a human (why am I now thinking of the Brautigan poem?), someone might take note ~ tended by bot or algorithm, that would another matter. I'll post this separately and tag the Chronicle, http://i.imgur.com/JRhuF.jpg ~ so what do you think of doing this regularly?Vanessa Vaile
Too bad I cant read it as it is only Chronicle subscribers only.Diana Ramseyer
