| @Comprof1 | @TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer Okay, I’m here. Just to let you know, the last scene in the video preview is where I work! #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:09:02 |
| @DrHepner | I am a FT faculty member, but I also adjunct in a grad program. I really contextualizes Gappa and Leslie’s “Invisible Faculty” #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:09:14 |
| @fulwilerm | @Comprof1 @TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer Similarities and differences in what ways? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:09:25 |
| @2255Films | Afternoon everyone. I’ll be here lurking for the most part. Don’t mind me. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:09:30 |
| @Comprof1 | @TeachWrt UAlbany. But I’ve worked at a number of colleges in the capital district (but not St. Rose!) #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:09:59 |
| @fulwilerm | @2255Films Welcome! Lurking fits right in with our theme of invisibility:) #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:10:56 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Did everybody see the video Con Job by today’s #AdjunctChat discussants @fulwilerm and @TeachWrt | 11/12/2013 16:11:05 |
| @fulwilerm | @Comprof1 @TeachWrt What a small world! #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:11:27 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer Different reasons for adjuncting. similiar issues in not feeling equal to Tenured #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:11:28 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @fulwilerm @2255Films Welcome! Lurking fits right in with our theme of invisibility:) #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:11:40 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer For some, hoping to get Tenure track job (TT). Others like teaching and 2nd job. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:12:16 |
| @ProfessorF74 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm @2255Films Good. I’m mostly lurking, too. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:12:36 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer Some have Phd’s. Some have professional experience. Many are frustrated. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:12:47 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @Eero_Laine RT @AdjunctAction: Check out #adjunctchat, happening now. #adjuncts #highered | 11/12/2013 16:12:53 |
| @fulwilerm | @Comprof1 @TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer Shows the many different reasons for adjuncting. And the many different kinds of adjuncts. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:13:38 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @TeachWrt don’t know if you are aware, but link to your sight was sent out to UAlbany faculty We thought good fit w/#AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:14:31 |
| @TeachWrt | .@Comprof1 yes. I think it’s imprtant that even those who want PT work acknowledge the inequity & work to rectify it. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:14:34 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer For those in your documentary was it the same? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:15:20 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm @Comprof1 @TeachWrt One thing I learned while engaging in #AdjunctChat and interacting is how diverse this population is. | 11/12/2013 16:15:25 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @TeachWrt @Comprof1 Can you talk a little about what you mean by and have in your mind when you mention “inequity” ? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:16:32 |
| @fulwilerm | @Comprof1 @TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer Almost everyone we interviwed was hoping for a full-time position. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:16:49 |
| @Comprof1 | @TeachWrt I think feeling invisible is worse. Some places I’ve worked has made me feel welcome & equal #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:17:05 |
| @DrJessicaLanger | We’re HIRING a (paid) #socialmedia #marketing intern for the month of Jan! http://t.co/2O2ThNr1oY #altac #postac #ecrchat #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:17:58 |
| @Comprof1 | @TeachWrt One advantage to being PT is ability to leave if admin not good to contingents. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:18:27 |
| @TeachWrt | .@JeffreyKeefer well the greatest and most concrete inequity is seen in the pay discrepancy but there is unequal status #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:18:30 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm @Comprof1 @TeachWrt Interesting, so in that way being an #adjunct means somebody who did not get tenure? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:18:33 |
| @fulwilerm | @JeffreyKeefer @TeachWrt @Comprof1 Among usual suspects are pay, space, and benefits. But also access to faculty governance. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:18:55 |
| @Comprof1 | @TeachWrt In our area, at least, adjuncts are always needed last minute. Still silent though. #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:19:10 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @TeachWrt Yes, though the pay inequity also involves levels of commitment on both sides #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:19:27 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @TeachWrt I’ve seen more & more expectations of adjuncts over last 20 yrs. Today I do same work but at 1/4 pay #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:21:05 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm @TeachWrt @Comprof1 I have always worked FT as I can not afford to work only as an #AdjunctChat #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:21:09 |
| @TeachWrt | .@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat you mentioned the diversity of this population so we also include people who would never have the opp 4 tenure | 11/12/2013 16:21:30 |
| @fulwilerm | @Comprof1 @TeachWrt Many admin I talk with are sympathetic but feel their hands are tied. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:21:48 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @fulwilerm @TeachWrt I tend to wonder what this means for the discipline and how knowledge is created + disseminated #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:22:36 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @JeffreyKeefer @TeachWrt Can you elaborate about the governence? Were there differences between type of institute? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:22:37 |
| @melovell | @celloandbow I don’t think I can today but will check the #adjunctchat hashtag later to catch up. | 11/12/2013 16:23:01 |
| @ProfessorF74 | @fulwilerm @Comprof1 @TeachWrt Do these admins keep adding provosts, vice provosts, etc. positions while overusing #adjuncts? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:23:43 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @TeachWrt What role did research play? Were there people doing admin work for free so they could have > voice? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:23:45 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @TeachWrt Not having the opportunity for tenure because it is not available may be different from those who don’t opp for it #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:24:15 |
| @fulwilerm | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer @TeachWrt We spoke with adjuncts from wide variety of institutions. None had role in any governance. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:24:17 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | @fulwilerm @TeachWrt #adjunctchat I found you! MECCA! I am so happy to know of this resource. I have been working to organize adjuncts | 11/12/2013 16:24:33 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | I wonder how #adjunct work is effected by the sheer explosion in practitioner degrees and practitioner doctorates #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:24:43 |
| @TeachWrt | #AdjunctChat do any of the lurkers want to get in on the conversation about the range in types of adjuncts & feelings about inquiry? | 11/12/2013 16:24:46 |
| @fulwilerm | @LydiaFieldSnow1 @TeachWrt Welcome!! We’d love to hear what you’ve done! #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:25:32 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm @Comprof1 @TeachWrt Let me play advocatus diaboli — why should part-time workers have a role in FT governance? #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:25:52 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LydiaFieldSnow1 Welcome to #adjunctchat! @fulwilerm @TeachWrt | 11/12/2013 16:26:40 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @TeachWrt I worked at 1 college where adjuncts were part of curriculum dev & schoolwide training 1/sem (paid extra) #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:26:57 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @ProfessorF74 Glad you were able to make it to #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:27:08 |
| @DrHepner | I am bombarded with law school grads who are struggling in an over saturated market! Don’t go to law school! @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:27:20 |
| @TeachWrt | .@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat it’s completely dependent on that – a vicious capitalist cycle. programs turn out workers 2 use on the cheap | 11/12/2013 16:27:23 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | @Comprof1 #adjunctchat Yes I am creating curriculum in music ed department. The students respect me because they know I rely on real work | 11/12/2013 16:27:29 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @melovell Great; you can always reply to #adjunctchat outside of our live chat here; the keyword tag is always open! | 11/12/2013 16:27:48 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @JeffreyKeefer @TeachWrt Only place where I felt adjuncts were thought of as colleagues. EVERYONE was paid low! #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:28:01 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LydiaFieldSnow1 What do you mean you rely on real work? @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:28:44 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 #adjunctchat I taught music in schools to children for many years before being hired to teach music ed classes | 11/12/2013 16:29:29 |
| @fulwilerm | .@JeffreyKeefer TT faculty are now only half of the professoriate on any given campus. So decisions are made by the few #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:29:32 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @TeachWrt Yes, #adjunct work is similar to Wal-Mart or cheap Chinese imports; as much to get for paying a little #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:29:44 |
| @Comprof1 | @TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer Did you find some fields worse than others (you mentioned comp/eng & foreign language in film) #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:29:50 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | @JeffreyKeefer @TeachWrt #adjunctchat I agree. Walmart ad on facebook to not shop. I will spend my Thanksgiving weekend grading without pay | 11/12/2013 16:30:39 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @JeffreyKeefer Even those w/ unions because many adjuncts don’t join unions. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:30:48 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm Isn’t that how all organizations work; decisions made by the few? #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:30:49 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm Even amongst TT faculty, they still take their marching orders from their own few in power #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:31:19 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @JeffreyKeefer So how do you think contingents can find their voice? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:31:19 |
| @fulwilerm | .@Comprof1 It’s clear from the data we’ve looked at that the humanities is leading the way! #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:31:27 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm In many ways the #adjunct issue I see becoming increasingly important revolves around unionization of some sort #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:32:15 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | So energized by your work on twitter. It has been worst fall semester. 4 classes 4 preps, pay cut. less credit hours and 83%! #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:32:29 |
| @TeachWrt | .@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat perhaps. But higher Ed has often claimed transparency & “shared gov” should mean just that – democracy not corp | 11/12/2013 16:32:52 |
| @fulwilerm | @JeffreyKeefer Taxation without representation? W/o a voice, adjuncts have no role in institutions that rely on them. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:33:17 |
| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm Why? Is it because they aren’t “bringing in money”? Or have their departments been cut? Or oversupply? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:33:22 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | email from union warning us not to have students sign petition in our classes, and it sounded like she was chummy with provost. #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:33:33 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @fulwilerm I am not sure if there is a single notion of what “finding their voice” means given diversity + experience #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:34:09 |
| @fulwilerm | .@JeffreyKeefer And TT faculty remain in an ever shrinking bubble. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:34:27 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm Unions are a start, but contingent need to feel they can point out inequity w/out losing job. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:34:31 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | I was on committee to build shared governance at Instructors Voice. I can share our statement with you. It was voted down. #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:34:39 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm Really the same in all industries today. My sister is in government & same problem. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:35:10 |
| @fulwilerm | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Sure. But without any form of representation at schools w/o unions, there’s only silence. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:35:28 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Note to self: include the term “contingents” in the #adjunctchat header and “About” page. | 11/12/2013 16:35:39 |
| @DrHepner | Oh, please don’t, Jennifer! The law is a horrible place to be these days.@TeachWrt @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:35:44 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | I chaired the committee and met with instructors and profs in big meetings and read a statement. Then the cuts came in the fall #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:35:46 |
| @fulwilerm | .@LydiaFieldSnow1 I’d be interested in seeing this. And who voted it down? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:36:19 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LydiaFieldSnow1 I cannot but think that the notion of shared governance is not as equal and rosy as it seems #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:36:35 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm Tenure means you can speak up. Non tenured means you can be fired at will w/out any reason. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:36:40 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | the full time faculty were only allowed to vote on it. #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:36:40 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | I mean tenure and tenure track faculty. We had over half of the faculty who wanted instructors able to vote in deparmt meetings #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:37:25 |
| @AdjunctYoda | @JeffreyKeefer Yes, yes, yes: “contingent” covers a wider spectrum (e.g., untenured faculty on multi-year contracts). #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:37:29 |
| @fulwilerm | .@LydiaFieldSnow1 I was going to guess that but didn’t want to be too cynical. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:37:42 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm Adjuncts should be able to ask for raise, job security, input in curriculum, access to resources. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:38:02 |
| @fulwilerm | @JeffreyKeefer @LydiaFieldSnow1 Ain’t nothing rosy about shared governance. But without it, there’s nada. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:38:33 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @TeachWrt @fulwilerm Given your work and video, is this tied to a research project you are engaging in as well? #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:38:54 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | president said to me in elevator after the first senate meeting”I’m sorry your load was cut. But we all have to make a living.” #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:38:55 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | And then I quit senate and found you all on twitter. Wow the light bulbs are going crazy in my brain. #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:39:22 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @fulwilerm Why should PT employees hired for a short-term contract be entitled to anything beyond what is offered? #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:39:44 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | I have written not one but two petitions. I have made new friends. I don’t feel crazy any more. #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:39:52 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @LydiaFieldSnow1 Is if you get paid for it As i said, uni I worked at had sem meeting on policies & PT was paid. #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:40:30 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @fulwilerm Given more folks with advanced degrees than positions for them, it seems an employer’s dream scenario #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:40:50 |
| @TeachWrt | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm the film is the culmination of / vehicle for our research and a hopefully a resource for advocacy #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:40:59 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @LydiaFieldSnow1 I have written not one but two petitions. I have made new friends. I don’t feel crazy any more. #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:41:03 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm Because they are doing the same work as TT. I am at least & > 2 semesters is not short term #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:41:54 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | @TeachWrt Would love to bring your movie to Northeastern Illinois University. Big justice studies program. #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:42:10 |
| @TeachWrt | .@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat it is employers dream scenario, so what can we do to change it. Lots of unethical scenarios support the system | 11/12/2013 16:43:29 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm Just b/c they have degree doesn’t mean they can teach. Rather than hire warm bodies hire instructors #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:43:29 |
| @fulwilerm | @LydiaFieldSnow1 @TeachWrt The full-length film will be available in the spring via open access digital press. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:43:59 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm They may not need them every semester but better ed outcomes w/ long term adjuncts #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:44:05 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @AdjunctYoda Indeed, it also includes untenured faculty on short-term contracts #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:44:33 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm If they are long term working with students, they should have voice in curriculum direction in dept #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:44:45 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @fulwilerm I wonder how much evidence there is to support better outcomes with long- vs. short-term #adjuncts #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:45:22 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm Also can bring expertise from outside of academia. Should be compensated for that #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:45:26 |
| @fulwilerm | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Absolutely. It’s @NewFacMajority’s mantra that “teaching conditions=student learning conditions” #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:45:27 |

| @Comprof1 | @fulwilerm @LydiaFieldSnow1 @TeachWrt Have you submitted to WMHT’s local documentary comp to get greater audience? #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:46:47 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @TeachWrt @fulwilerm That seems a great contribution to the growing #adjunct discussion #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:47:15 |
| @fulwilerm | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 I think it’s a retention issue. Or should be. Support teachers to help students persists and thrive. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:47:19 |

| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm And this is the problem No evidence No study No exit interview why adjuncts leave. Only student evals #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:48:47 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm @Comprof1 @NewFacMajority Makes sense, though as an advocatus diaboli, I wonder if there is evidence to support it #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:49:48 |
| @VCVaile | sorry to be late – interruptions #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:51:03 |
| @fulwilerm | .@JeffreyKeefer It started as a video response to Comp/Rhet PD video “Take 20” w/top scholars. We wanted to hear from adjuncts #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:51:44 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm @Comprof1 @NewFacMajority Perhaps evidence is something to come from some of us? I want to do #adjunct research #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:51:54 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | fav instrs voice com commnt: “This is a disaster for the university. It is basically apartheid and the doom of the university” #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:53:11 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @VCVaile You are never late! You arrive precisely when you mean to (bad paraphrase from Gandalf!). Welcome! #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:53:16 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm I found it fully engaging; so glad you shared it. Can’t wait to hear about more! #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:54:08 |
| @fulwilerm | .@JeffreyKeefer The more we talked with ad/con faculty, the more complex the issue grew. We wanted to peel onion. Still trying #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:54:09 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | the person who said that was a lawyer who taught in Justice Studies dept. Without her the students would be lost. She knew! #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:54:46 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @fulwilerm @NewFacMajority But where will research end up? Hate to say it mary margaret’s death did more to help #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:54:54 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @fulwilerm Did this come out of your disciplinary perspective, or an issue of passion? #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:55:07 |
| @TeachWrt | .@JeffreyKeefer @NewFacMajority we agree. Studies have been done & published bur good data is hard 2 come by. #adjunctchat #research | 11/12/2013 16:56:06 |
| @VCVaile | @JeffreyKeefer even the note intended to be longer was interrupted by someone at the door; getting to #adjunctchat by a contrary computer | 11/12/2013 16:56:23 |
| @fulwilerm | .@JeffreyKeefer Lots of great evidence out there, but def need more. Delphi Project is a good resource #AdjunctChat http://t.co/yjYXpDm6Sx | 11/12/2013 16:56:45 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @fulwilerm @NewFacMajority As much as I take a qualitative view, quant #’s can provide evidence of #adjunct impact #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:57:13 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | This has been a wonderful #adjunctchat and I really wish I could remain longer, but I have to leave the office and go and #adjunct teach! | 11/12/2013 16:58:07 |
| @fulwilerm | @JeffreyKeefer I’m WPA of a small writing program & work directly with ad/con instructors. Grew out of a disciplinary passion. #AdjunctChat | 11/12/2013 16:58:29 |
| @TeachWrt | .@JeffreyKeefer for me – both – passion about labor issues and anger at my own field leading the way in casualization of labor #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:58:29 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | I look forward to reading the #adjunctchat later tonight and following along more then. | 11/12/2013 16:58:35 |
| @LydiaFieldSnow1 | Anderson Report spoke of lack of instructor’s voice effecting entire university.Had to hire a consultant to get there! #adjunctchat | 11/12/2013 16:58:52 |
