Hi, Everyone - Here are links to recent articles from the Chronicle of Higher Ed. about adjuncting in the Chicago area. My thanks to Donald Rogers and Liz Hohl for furnishing them. This is an interesting quote from the survey of Chicago adjuncts included in one of the articles: ".only a third of the people who responded to The Chronicle's survey last spring said they worked as part-time adjuncts because they couldn't find full-time jobs in academe. In fact, almost half said they preferred part-time work, some because they said it fit with the demands of their family life." I've also appended Robert Townsend's article from the September AHA Perspectives on History. If anyone has any stories, horror or otherwise, they'd like to relate about their own experiences or the experiences of other adjuncts trying to survive the recent crisis, feel free to pass them along. http://chronicle.com/article/Love-of-Teaching-Draws/48845/ http://chronicle.com/article/Full-Time-Instructors-Shoulder/48841/ http://chronicle.com/article/At-One-2-Year-College/48844/ http://chronicle.com/article/Chronicle-Survey-Yields-a/48843/ http://chronicle.com/article/Highlights-From-The/48851/ http://chronicle.com/article/Video-Voices-of-Adjuncts/48868/ http://www.historians.org/perspectives/issues/2009/0909/0909new1.cfm.
