| @JeffreyKeefer | #AdjunctChat has started with @rcbatp talking about his overview for how he saw his state as an #adjunct with issues around control. | 2/11/2014 16:09 |

| @4KM | @UpstateAdjuncts IF there were a major adjunct exodus from academia, what might that mean? Who would staY go? #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:11 |
| @IshaiBarnoy | #Adjunctchat @UpstateAdjuncts Not to say PhD’s aren’t exploited as well. Just that some of us feel like another version of “unskilled.” | 2/11/2014 16:11 |
| @rcbatp | #adjunctchat — the moment I said “I don’t have any control” immediately I saw places where I did exert control — especially re: students | 2/11/2014 16:11 |
| @IshaiBarnoy | @rcbatp @DrHepner Don’t forget the #Adjunctchat hashtag! | 2/11/2014 16:12 |
| @4KM | Does distraction relate to increasingly common learning-at-a-distance and what our desktops look like? #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:12 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @rcbatp Thanks; listening to the 2 recordings you shared in the background right now #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:12 |
| @Comprof1 | @4KM @UpstateAdjuncts I think there’d be greater demand for “teaching students” not on Phd or even Master’s level. #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:12 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @rcbatp What brought on these 3 states? #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:12 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @UpstateAdjuncts Agreed; making these decisions and then acting upon them is empowerment itself #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:13 |
| @DrHepner | I began as an online adjunct and didn’t know I wasn’t a real faculty member for two years… my first visit to the campus! #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:13 |

| @IshaiBarnoy | .@LitProfSuz @4KM My apologies — elisions are a risk of the medium. I meant MA’s (some non-“academic”) in contrast to PhD’s. #Adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:20 |

| @rcbatp | @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat I wanted to bring Foucault into the conversation because he shows across his work that power is not stable | 2/11/2014 16:22 |
| @rcbatp | @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat Foucault dismantles assumptions of power which relate directly to what we know and how we know what we know | 2/11/2014 16:22 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @UpstateAdjuncts Seems you see connections with academic work and #PostAc or #AltAc? #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:22 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz @rcbatp Today as adjunct, I actually have less security/opportunity than I did as TA in same university. #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:23 |
| @rcbatp | @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat — Applying Foucault (and others like Deleuze, Derrida, Spivak, postcolonial) to my situation was very helpful | 2/11/2014 16:23 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz @rcbatp As TA had access to research and research funding. I don’t as an adjunct. #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:23 |
| @4KM | @Comprof1 @rcbatp Especially when bright, energized people create numerous conversation threads #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:23 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @rcbatp Lots of people seem to quote Foucault without having read them. Suggestions for newbies out there? #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:24 |
| @rcbatp | @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat — increasing the flow between traditional higher ed and #postac and #altac is a fantastic tactic 4 empowerment | 2/11/2014 16:24 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | BTW, what brought everybody here in #AdjunctChat now to your work in HE? | 2/11/2014 16:26 |
| @rcbatp | @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat — re: Foucault — I’d start with any of his lectures in essential works | 2/11/2014 16:26 |
| @Comprof1 | @rcbatp @JeffreyKeefer You make a good point which is true with all “temp” workers. #adjunctchat. Start w/ playing game, but doesn’t work. | 2/11/2014 16:26 |

| @AdjunctChat | RT @researchwhisper: Very fast & furious #adjunctchat happening right now. Relevant for #altac & #postac, too. | 2/11/2014 16:37 |
| @rcbatp | @IshaiBarnoy #adjunctchat — the naked flaccid power of HE can be seen without gov’t pressure but external pressure of any kind will help | 2/11/2014 16:37 |
| @rcbatp | @fabianbanga #adjunctchat — So so so tempting to hijack this conversation re: power, madness, and knowledge . . . but I won’t (wink) | 2/11/2014 16:38 |
| @AdjunctChat | The overview for today’s #AdjunctChat (currently underway) with @rcbatp is at http://t.co/RjurB735rL | 2/11/2014 16:38 |
| @Comprof1 | @rcbatp @JeffreyKeefer Depends on the CC. Those in my area require “outside funds” coming in which can be reserach or outreach #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:38 |
| @IshaiBarnoy | .@rcbatp Yes, well, what I meant to say was “… barring a revolution.” #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:39 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy @rcbatp More stable than most in what way? #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:39 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @4KM Glad you were able to join; thanks! #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:39 |
| @fabianbanga | @rcbatp @IshaiBarnoy so #adjunct struggle = madness from those in power (academia, tenured faculty, administration, etc) #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:39 |
| @rcbatp | @rcbatp #adjunctchat — I will say HE is a place where reason is dazzled (Madness and Civilization) = going 2 make YOU think YR crazy (wink) | 2/11/2014 16:40 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @rcbatp Sounds like invitation to transformative learning? #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:40 |

| @rcbatp | @fabianbanga #adjunctchat — this is what I experienced directly and I see happening with increased intensity | 2/11/2014 16:41 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Today’s #AdjunctChat intrigues me as it brings the humanities into practice when navigating the #adjunct experience #PostAc #AltAc | 2/11/2014 16:41 |

| @rcbatp | @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat . . . it revealed so many points of empowerment in that moment — curriculum and student advising for example | 2/11/2014 16:42 |
| @IshaiBarnoy | .@rcbatp In modest terms? And yeah, we’ve seen some of these — student strikes. Or maybe something more widespread. #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:43 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @rcbatp How did your interaction with your students change as a result of your personal shift re: #HigherEducation? #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:44 |
| @rcbatp | #adjunctchat — let’s return to the overview — thank you Jeffrey 🙂 — specifically how to build alliances . . | 2/11/2014 16:44 |
| @IshaiBarnoy | .@JeffreyKeefer @rcbatp Hmm. Gotta think about that one. Maybe we’re in the midst of a dramatic collapse. #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:44 |
| @UpstateAdjuncts | @JeffreyKeefer since ac labor market is saturated, some PhDs should go #altac – but those that go political can help w activism #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:44 |
| @rcbatp | @IshaiBarnoy #adjunctchat — Student walk outs imply an alliance between students adn professors I’m not convinced has been established. | 2/11/2014 16:45 |
| @Comprof1 | @rcbatp What would like to see change in HE that would help both adjuncts and students? #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:45 |
| @fabianbanga | @IshaiBarnoy @rcbatp tried in previews tweet / struggle in confrontational adjunct discourses seeing as sociological madness #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:45 |
| @IshaiBarnoy | Well, #AdjunctChat folks, I gotta go prepare for my class. Talk to you again sometime. | 2/11/2014 16:45 |
| @UpstateAdjuncts | @JeffreyKeefer both are two options that don’t force us to not get degrees in things that aren’t cash cows for unis #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:46 |
| @rcbatp | @UpstateAdjuncts #adjunctchat — exactly — increasing the flow, deterritorializing the either/or of ADJUNCTorNOTHING can help more ppl | 2/11/2014 16:46 |
| @fabianbanga | @LitProfSuz @rcbatp @IshaiBarnoy indeed #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:46 |
| @Comprof1 | @rcbatp I see things that can happen at my own school w/out any additional funding. #adjunctchat But need to get adjuncts speaking | 2/11/2014 16:46 |
| @rcbatp | @IshaiBarnoy #adjunctchat — nice to chat with you again! Keep the conversation going anytime @rcbatp or #adjunctuprising | 2/11/2014 16:46 |
| @fabianbanga | @LitProfSuz @rcbatp @IshaiBarnoy However, you will find many alliances if we see the struggle from a labor perspective #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:47 |
| @rcbatp | @Comprof1 #adjunctchat — I’d love faculty & students 2 see the strength in their alliance given how everyone benefits when learning is A+ | 2/11/2014 16:48 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy Thanks for joining; I need to run at 5:00 for my #SCPSRPM course @NYUSCPS just after out #AdjunctChat ends. | 2/11/2014 16:48 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | @fabianbanga @LitProfSuz @rcbatp @IshaiBarnoy This is something I hope to have as a focus in some future #AdjunctChat sessions | 2/11/2014 16:49 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | I just noticed that some of @rcbatp’s replies did not include the #AdjunctChat so we missed some of them 😦 | 2/11/2014 16:52 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @rcbatp Do you have any links to them you can share? #adjunctuprising #adjunctchat | 2/11/2014 16:52 |

| @rcbatp | @LitProfSuz #adjunctchat — We’re not programmed 2 live in contingency, especially teachers * the system is deadly and increases suffering | 2/11/2014 16:53 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @rcbatp Yes, and the way HE is set up, #adjuncts rarely interact or even know of one another #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:53 |
| @rcbatp | @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat — for any missed messages I’ll collect in my own Spotify under RCBATP . . . | 2/11/2014 16:54 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @rcbatp Seems #adjuncts who do not attend meetings and only teach are better controlled than those who are involved #AdjunctChat | 2/11/2014 16:54 |
