@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer 1st needed research, did so w/ pubs, then needed “terminal degree” (2 M not enough), now w/Phd no jobs. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:11
@whowewilltobe	#AdjunctChat What are your demands? Think ideologically. Think impossibly, unrealistically. What do you want, #Adjuncts?	3/25/2014 16:11
@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat Q1/A1: I demand more pay for less work.	3/25/2014 16:11

@fabianbanga	@IshaiBarnoy what can help to change this situation? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:11
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer A1 A pathway into FT work. Don’t even care at this point if teaching, admin, or other. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:12

@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer PT professionals have guaranteed pathway (1st applications) to FT jobs. Adjuncts/contingent don’t. #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:13
@whowewilltobe	@rjhogue @IshaiBarnoy We’ve got salary covered – we’ve demanded equivalent wages to TT faculty (see last demand in manifesto) #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:13
@rjhogue	#adjunctchat recognition that teaching is more than just contact hours.	3/25/2014 16:13
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 do you know other adjuncts @ your campus in the same situation? @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:13
@BronwynHemsley	Wednesdays 7am look #OTalk #WeNurses #AdjunctChat all at the same time. Imagine a collaborative topic. And that’s only my timeline!	3/25/2014 16:14
@IshaiBarnoy	Getting hired near where I live, for more pay, teaching fewer students. RT @fabianbanga what can help to change this situation? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:14
@whowewilltobe	@rjhogue Agreed & important! We should put it in the context section for sure. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:14
@cookingandcomp	RT @rjhogue: #adjunctchat recognition that teaching is more than just contact hours.	3/25/2014 16:14
@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat My Revised Demand: Less work!	3/25/2014 16:15
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy Class size a real issue. TT teachers have grad students or TA’s. Adjuncts don’t #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:15
@JeffreyKeefer	@BronwynHemsley We are glad you can <possibly> join us for #AdjunctChat, especially as I also work with and teach nurses!	3/25/2014 16:15
@rjhogue	#adjunctchat I’d like to know sooner if I’m teaching or not. Our union actually causes this problem 😦	3/25/2014 16:15
@whowewilltobe	#AdjunctChat Salaries will be equivalent to those paid to tenure-track faculty as outlined in HB 14 1154 http://t.co/SgJlDHVFSH	3/25/2014 16:15
@whowewilltobe	@Comprof1 @fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy Our campus caps classes at 18. What are your course sizes? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:16
@fabianbanga	@klinecj I see. very different populations; #AdjunctChat @JeffreyKeefer	3/25/2014 16:16
@JeffreyKeefer	A1 I often do not think of demands as an adjunct; in many ways they only power seems to be power to leave #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:16
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy Our dept is bare bones. ALL classes are full at 45. 2 classes=90 students. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:16
@MirandaMerklein	(Currently freeway flying.) For Manifesto: Academic freedom is a central concern of #HigherEd. Contingency = silence. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:16
@JeffreyKeefer	Any other thoughts about Q1: What do you demand as an adjunct / non-TT worker? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:16
@IshaiBarnoy	.@whowewilltobe @Comprof1 @fabianbanga I’ve done multiple 27-student classes in one semester. #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:16
@whowewilltobe	@rjhogue #AdjunctChat agreed – we want a a min contract of 1 yr (max 5 yrs) with a 3/3 teaching load & tenure for all.	3/25/2014 16:17
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 TT in some colleges/university do; many do not. @IshaiBarnoy #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:17
@Comprof1	@rjhogue We do have something in our contract. If term (see link from before) must let faculty know 3 months ahead. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:17
@JeffreyKeefer	Please include A1 for your reply to Q1; A2 for Q2, etc. to help the conversation be followed #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:18
@whowewilltobe	@Comprof1 @fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy Wow, that’s a lot of work! Way too many students. What cap do you suggest? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:18
@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat Here’s another demand: Eliminate student debt. Debt isn’t lethal, but it creates animosity against any faculty.	3/25/2014 16:18
@JeffreyKeefer	Now, to move on . . . #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:18
@JeffreyKeefer	Q2: How can these demands be inclusive for all adjuncts / NonTT workers? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:18
@Comprof1	RT @MirandaMerklein: (Currently freeway flying.) For Manifesto: Academic freedom is a central concern of #HigherEd. Contingency = silence. …	3/25/2014 16:18
@cookingandcomp	@whowewilltobe @Comprof1 @fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy vary by course; FYC 25; some lecture classes in other departments 90+. #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:18
@rjhogue	@whowewilltobe #AdjunctChat I think teaching load is one of those things that is context dependent as are class sizes	3/25/2014 16:18
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 our max is 40, min 25 even w languages (difficult) we do not have TAs @IshaiBarnoy #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:18
@IshaiBarnoy	.@whowewilltobe @Comprof1 @fabianbanga Suggested course cap: 8 students. #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:19
@whowewilltobe	@JeffreyKeefer That’s the gen response: don’t like it? Leave! But what’s that say about our commitment to higher ed? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:19
@cookingandcomp	@IshaiBarnoy It’d be nice if they could eliminate MY student debt, too. Oh WAIT. Higher wages–that could help! #AdjunctChat #studentdebt	3/25/2014 16:19
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 what is the max load for FT and PT instructors? @IshaiBarnoy #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:19
@whowewilltobe	@IshaiBarnoy Love this one. Mass debt forgiveness is an excellent demand. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:20
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy The class size creep’s a real problem at our school for all facultyJust got email about it from union #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:20
@IshaiBarnoy	.@cookingandcomp I’m talking about debt as a concept & phenomenon. It helps “afford things,” but it creates anxiety, too. #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:20
@whowewilltobe	@IshaiBarnoy @Comprof1 @fabianbanga Aha. . .I see we have a radical in the house (: #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:20
@fabianbanga	@whowewilltobe @Comprof1 @IshaiBarnoy Max 40 but I had a class with 80+ students once literature #AdjunctChat regular class is 30	3/25/2014 16:21
@JeffreyKeefer	@klinecj Try to remember to use the #AdjunctChat tag so everybody will see the conversation.	3/25/2014 16:21
@cookingandcomp	@whowewilltobe @JeffreyKeefer demands also probably context specific, too. I have a great, support program, but that is rare #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:21
@whowewilltobe	@cookingandcomp @Comprof1 @fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy 90+ with or without TAs? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:21
@fabianbanga	@IshaiBarnoy that would be an Independent Study for us : ) @whowewilltobe @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:21
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy The one thing not outlined in contract. Even course load depends on type of college. CC is 5< #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:22
@JeffreyKeefer	While we are talking about Q1 and Q2, please also take a look at the Adjunct Manifesto itself https://t.co/McMgyP0miT #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:22
@klinecj	@cookingandcomp @whowewilltobe @JeffreyKeefer I have great development opportunities as well. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:22
@rjhogue	#adjunctchat plane boarding :-). Signing out now.	3/25/2014 16:22
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @whowewilltobe @IshaiBarnoy This issue is NOT being addressed ANYWHERE and really affects teaching/learning #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:23
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 a FT TT instructor load for us is 15 units / a PT cannot tech more than 10 @IshaiBarnoy #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:23
@whowewilltobe	@rjhogue Thanks for joining #AdjunctChat! Have a good flight (:	3/25/2014 16:23
@cookingandcomp	@whowewilltobe @Comprof1 @fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy I’m honestly not sure. Probably with, not any in my dept. #classsize #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:23
@whowewilltobe	@klinecj @cookingandcomp @JeffreyKeefer What does your college offer for development opportunities? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:24
@JeffreyKeefer	Please continue to give feedback on the Adjunct Manifesto https://t.co/McMgyP0miT after and continue the conversation via #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:24
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 yes enormously if you for examp teach languages. recommendation is 20 @whowewilltobe @IshaiBarnoy #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:24

@klinecj	@whowewilltobe @cookingandcomp @JeffreyKeefer All the opportunities that the FT faculty have. It is wonderful! #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:25
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 so this should be added to the Manifesto (would you like to?) @whowewilltobe @IshaiBarnoy #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:25

@Comprof1	@whowewilltobe @klinecj @cookingandcomp @JeffreyKeefer Our Teaching & learning center is very good at including adjuncts & cont #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:25
@whowewilltobe	@Comprof1 Added a “course cap” demand on the manifesto. Will you author it? #AdjunctChat https://t.co/NlChGGtiPS	3/25/2014 16:25
@IshaiBarnoy	.@JeffreyKeefer A2/Q2: Make it so, man. Make it so. Teaching @Oplerno, maybe? Design courses to have few students, high pay. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:25
@Comprof1	@whowewilltobe @klinecj @cookingandcomp @JeffreyKeefer But now we have a TA union and noticed many resources moving FROM adj #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:26
@whowewilltobe	@cookingandcomp @Comprof1 @fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy #BadminBS at its finest: We’ll pay you <3K and give you 90 students! #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:26
@IshaiBarnoy	.@JeffreyKeefer A2/Q2: Also, hire more, for more pay. If college is a business, make it big and make it efficient and ethical. #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:26
@Comprof1	@whowewilltobe @klinecj @cookingandcomp @JeffreyKeefer Both TA’s and Adj should have equal rights. Now shifting. #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:26
@fabianbanga	@IshaiBarnoy How is @Oplerno doing? @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:27
@whowewilltobe	@cookingandcomp @klinecj @JeffreyKeefer Professional development & promotion are SO important. 100% agree #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:27
@cookingandcomp	@Comprof1 @whowewilltobe @klinecj @JeffreyKeefer ours has a FT, NTT instructor as a fellow. Most FT opps are open to adjuncts #adjunctchat	3/25/2014 16:27
@IshaiBarnoy	.@fabianbanga @Comprof1 @whowewilltobe Add reduction in class size to the manifesto? Yes! #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:27

@fabianbanga	@JeffreyKeefer If we are talking about collective bargaining negotiations you need a union #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:28

@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy @fabianbanga @Oplerno Get going with it! #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:29
@whowewilltobe	@JeffreyKeefer Divide and conquer is real. We need to speak w staff, students, and TT workers to see how we can help each other #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:30

@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat A1: I don’t mean to be a conspiracy theorist, but I’m beginning to suspect there’s maneuvering to take work away from #adjuncts	3/25/2014 16:30
@JeffreyKeefer	Q3: How can we open the struggle to include demands for our allies, the students, and workers, too? #AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:31
@whowewilltobe	@JeffreyKeefer @cookingandcomp @klinecj Which is one reason we don’t want to be paid on a “per class” basis anymore. . .#AdjunctChat	3/25/2014 16:31

#AdjunctChat Topic Mar 25 ~ Help Draft We Are Not Contingent: An Adjunct Manifesto (with @whowewilltobe @fabianbanga @JeffreyKeefer)

The topic for the #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, March 25 is:

What are your demands? Help draft We Are Not Contingent: An Adjunct Manifesto.

The chat will be facilitated by @whowewilltobe @fabianbanga and @JeffreyKeefer.

Are you an adjunct or contingent faculty and feel you need more of a formalized voice? Come join us as we discuss and collaborate on WE ARE NOT CONTINGENT: An Adjunct Manifesto.

Take a look at the document in Google Docs before the session, and let’s discuss what we need and what we can do about it! Some questions to get us started include:

Q1: What do you demand as an adjunct / non-TT worker? #AdjunctChat
Q2: How can these demands be inclusive for all adjuncts / NonTT workers? #AdjunctChat
Q3: How can we open the struggle to include demands for our allies, the students, and workers, too? #AdjunctChat
Q4: How can we promote solidarity amongs all campus workers? #AdjunctChat
Q5: Who is our audience? The choir or people unfamiliar with our struggle? #AdjunctChat
Q6: Is your work environment hostile to #Adjuncts? #AdjunctChat
Q7: Do you have a Union? #AdjunctChat
Q8: Are #adjunct instructors/professors part of your campus Senate? #AdjunctChat
Q9: Do you have a contract? Do you have a preferred hiring pool or SOE? #AdjunctChat

All are welcome to #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, March 25, from 4:00-5:00pm EDT.

@ProfessorF74	@Comprof1 #AdjunctChat So we can’t single out angry Ss? My colleague @JosephPFisher1 thinks evals = useless. I agree at times.	3/18/2014 16:10
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable Q1 I use ongoing formative evals with a critical incident questionnaire so pay little attention to uni one #AdjunctChat	3/18/2014 16:11

@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer So, you are creating your own internal eval system? I think that’s gaining popularity. I do this at midterm #AdjunctChat	3/18/2014 16:12
@cookingandcomp	@rskiff @ProfessorF74 @Comprof1 @LitProfSuz BC this isn’t typically what angry evals reflect. #adjunctchat	3/18/2014 16:12

@rskiff	@sneakinabook #AdjunctChat What are the others?	3/18/2014 16:15
@doc2be	@AdjunctChat If use correctly and not for penalizing evals can be somewhat useful #AdjunctChat	3/18/2014 16:15
@LitProfSuz	@cookingandcomp It was rumored that my institute only looks at evals if there were other issues. #adjunctchat	3/18/2014 16:16

@cookingandcomp	@Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable when I had written comments, I could usually guess who wrote what! Now I look at one question #adjunctchat	3/18/2014 16:16
@cookingandcomp	@Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable which is “what grade do you expect to get in this class?” very telling! #adjunctchat	3/18/2014 16:17

@Comprof1	@Melissa_Venable Q2 We have uni as 1st level mandatory, then dept. and learng/teachng center as optional 2nd level. #adjunctchat	3/18/2014 16:36
@rskiff	@Melissa_Venable #AdjunctChat The faculty and soon the students. We are working hard to create a much more open learning system at @Oplerno	3/18/2014 16:36

@cookingandcomp	@Melissa_Venable #adjunctchat We use institution-created form; I think DH and the personnel committee (dept) sees evals besides instructor.	3/18/2014 16:36
@Melissa_Venable	Are your formal course evaluations managed at the institution level, academic department? #AdjunctChat Have to have your own approved?	3/18/2014 16:36
@fabianbanga	@Melissa_Venable our process is monitored by the union and conducted by the departments. #AdjunctChat	3/18/2014 16:37
@Melissa_Venable	@rskiff Really like the idea of including students in the evaluation development/review process in some way #AdjunctChat	3/18/2014 16:37
@Melissa_Venable	Q3) What are your suggestions for improving the course evaluation process, specifically for adjunct instructors? #AdjunctChat	3/18/2014 16:39

@Melissa_Venable	@klinecj Indeed! This is definitely a challenge – getting useful feedback that is not driven by student reaction to grades. #AdjunctChat	3/18/2014 16:43

#AdjunctChat Topic Mar 11 ~ “I’m a Professional X” (with @chrishumphrey @FromPhDtoLife @ProfessorF74)

The topic for the #AdjunctChat on Tuesday, March 11 is:

“I’m a Professional X” – How to Recast Academic Experience in a #PostAc / #AltAc Environment.

When applying for jobs outside academia, you have to dig deep and reinvent your professional persona. You need to translate your skills and experience into a language that employers can understand. So we want to know what’s worked for you,  and what might work for you in future, be it project manager, writer, scientist, whatever else.

1. What hints and tips can you share with others about presenting your skills?
2. What can you do to reinvent how you present yourself topotential employers and colleagues?

The chat will be co-facilitated by Chris Humphrey (@chrishumphrey), Jen Polk (@FromPhDtoLife) & Joe Fruscione (@ProfessorF74).

Here are some resources to help you learn more about marketing yourself as a professional X (where the X=the name of the job role you are applying for):

@JeffreyKeefer	@manville71 @LitProfSuz #AdjunctChat takes place on Twitter, so just use and follow the #AdjunctChat tag and you should see the discussion.	3/4/2014 21:03
@LitProfSuz	I took Silvia’s advise & formed an accountability wrtng group. Have since coached many ppl now through thesis/diss/articles #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:04
@JeffreyKeefer	Some people find it useful to use Twubs or tchat.io to follow #AdjunctChat. I have recently been using @HootSuite for these Twitter chats.	3/4/2014 21:05

@LitProfSuz	@manville71 Welcome Sarah – glad you joined. Add #adjunctchat to each tweet	3/4/2014 21:05
@manville71	#AdjunctChat my biggest obstacle to writing is divided attention. teach 4 classes take 2, plus life. I can’t get a block of time set aside	3/4/2014 21:05
@Melissa_Venable	@LitProfSuz I have a writing partner as well – small group, but we keep each other motivated to keep moving forward #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:05
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable Great to see you in #AdjunctChat again!!	3/4/2014 21:05
@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer Thanks, Jeffrey! Good to be here. Have had a packed schedule lately. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:06
@LitProfSuz	I’ve also read Boice’s “Professors as Writers” to help in coaching. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:06
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz Whose advice did you follow? #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:06
@JeffreyKeefer	@manville71 This is my experience, too! #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:06
@LitProfSuz	Q1: To unmask the private agony of writing, what are the things that block you as a writer? #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:07
@manville71	#AdjunctChat Writing partner would be great. Other adjuncts are not viable–they are too much in transition as well.	3/4/2014 21:07
@JeffreyKeefer	My challenge with #AcWri is that I work FT in educational project management, teach 2 classes, and do a bit of consulting #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:07
@fabianbanga	@JeffreyKeefer @LitProfSuz i am here #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:07
@npmaven	RT @LitProfSuz Q1: To unmask the private agony of writing, what are the things that block you as a writer? #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:07
@Melissa_Venable	@manville71 Agreed! divided attention, time, distractions … all can affect focus on writing. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:07
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer Silvia recommends an accountability wrtng group. State goals, admit success & failure. Peer pressure. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:08
@npmaven	Typical: time (for this work), energy, multiple demands on both. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:08
@JeffreyKeefer	The #AdjunctChat topic is “Adjuncts as Academic Writers” (with @LitProfSuz) http://t.co/Q0k6UZEi9R 4:00pm EST = NOW!	3/4/2014 21:08

@npmaven	Energy is huge, esp since “non-work” writing is confined to limited blocks of time – not prime, either, for me. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:09
@LitProfSuz	@Melissa_Venable @manville71 Boice found that regular, small (30 min) amounts of wrtng is more productive than binging #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:09
@IshaiBarnoy	A1: I’m usually blocked by other people’s expectations, especially people close to me. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:10
@fabianbanga	@LitProfSuz I can only write under a lot of adrenaline and pressure #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:10
@IshaiBarnoy	A1: It’s easiest for me to write to my students, because it seems they’re still figuring out their expectations. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:10
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy Welcome! #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:11
@Comprof1	RT @4KM: A1 #Adjunctchat Biggest block is remuneration. No $, time, advancement etc. for publications, and the research and writing is…	3/4/2014 21:11
@LitProfSuz	@IshaiBarnoy Ah, the inner and external critic! Not unusual. I think we all fear what others will think. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:11
@Melissa_Venable	@LitProfSuz Interesting! I’m not sure how much I would accomplish in 30 mn. Spend that time recapping where I was when left off #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:11
@fabianbanga	My dissertation: 3 month of procrastination and then wrote a chapter in two weeks. (then editing) #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:12
@npmaven	My “prime” writing time: 5:15-6:15 a.m. Before work, sleeping puppy clear brain 🙂 Still, multiple demands on it. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:12
@LitProfSuz	@fabianbanga Ah, you like the demands of a deadline. That is good to know about yourself. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:12
@Comprof1	@Melissa_Venable @LitProfSuz I’ve always had problem with daily writing also #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:13
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga Welcome to #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:13
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @LitProfSuz: Q1: To unmask the private agony of writing, what are the things that block you as a writer? #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:13
@fabianbanga	@LitProfSuz Very common in journalism #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:13
@IshaiBarnoy	@fabianbanga @LitProfSuz Yes, me too. Somehow, the critic’s gone and “authenticity” is pointless then. Feels crappy, though. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:13
@npmaven	As pracademic, I’m also torn: immediate access, interaction, sharing via blog vs. long-term academic writing projects #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:13
@manville71	#AdjunctChat for me the 30 minutes is a nonstarter. It’s just getting settled, where are my sources, what is my framework.	3/4/2014 21:14
@JeffreyKeefer	Q1: My biggest block is having time AND then I try to get everything just right before I start, and thus never start #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:14

@Melissa_Venable	+1 to @npmaven’s tip – early morning hours, before house and work get going, can be really productive for writing. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:15
@JeffreyKeefer	@manville71 A1: I am very process oriented, so also like to get everything just right before I begin #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:16
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer Best way for me to find time, and avoid perfectionism, is to steal this time — find a really bad time to write. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:16
@Comprof1	@npmaven esp now trying to decide what will get me a position. I feel shattered #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:16
@JeffreyKeefer	@npmaven What is a pracademic? #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:16
@npmaven	@Melissa_Venable How I survive 🙂 Challenge is what I need to fit into that limited space (hint: too much). #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:16
@npmaven	@JeffreyKeefer Pracademic=practitioner who also teaches #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:16
@LitProfSuz	Boice states wrtng probs include-censoring self,fear of failure,perfectionism, procrastination,attitude toward wrtng & busyness #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:17
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer can you explain?#adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:17
@IshaiBarnoy	@Melissa_Venable @npmaven Not me. I’ve got my mornings plotted too carefully. Not even five minutes of writing time left. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:17
@JeffreyKeefer	Today’s #AdjunctChat topic about #AcWri reminds me of some similar themes we had recently with @CamelsHammers	3/4/2014 21:17
@Melissa_Venable	@npmaven 🙂 so many ideas and possible projects, so little time. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:17
@LitProfSuz	So, now that we have revealed our problems, let’s talk about solutions. Q2) What works for you? #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:17
@fabianbanga	@JeffreyKeefer had a column on Saturday newspaper: I wrote on Fridays (all am doing nothing and then vomit all in 30 m @ pm) #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:17
@npmaven	@Comprof1 So sorry to hear that. My low bar: too old for tenure track position. Makes it easier(?) to look at other avenues. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:17
@npmaven	@Melissa_Venable Epecially for Renaissance souls like us 😉 #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:18
@Comprof1	RT @Melissa_Venable: @npmaven 🙂 so many ideas and possible projects, so little time. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:18
@LitProfSuz	@npmaven @Melissa_Venable Yes, we all need to figure out when our most productive time is. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:18
@npmaven	RT @LitProfSuz So, now that we have revealed our problems, let’s talk about solutions. Q2) What works for you? #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:18
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz What sort of coaching do you do regarding #AcWri? #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:18
@IshaiBarnoy	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer I find a pocket of time when I could (so maybe should) be grading, for instance. Then I write instead. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:19
@npmaven	A2) Definitely making the most of limited prime time. Also, looking for ways to repurpose. #adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:19
@manville71	#AdjunctChat what’s renumeration? 🙂 I do find a way to write everyday but none of it benefits me at my #adjunct position, only PhD prog	3/4/2014 21:19
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga So, you wrote in a non-academic way as an aid in focusing? #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:19
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @Comprof1: @IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer can you explain?#adjunctchat	3/4/2014 21:19
@Comprof1	@npmaven finding that myself so find spending more time blogging #adjunctchat so focus on prof writing	3/4/2014 21:19
@IshaiBarnoy	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Usually these pockets aren’t longer than 45 minutes to an hour. I find I can’t do more at once anyway. #AdjunctChat	3/4/2014 21:19
@npmaven	RT @Comprof1 @npmaven finding that myself so find spending more time blogging #adjunctchat so focus on prof writing	3/4/2014 21:20

@Comprof1	@merlemassie But just because good practioner doesn’t mean good teacher. Some of best teachers may not be best in field. #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:29
@polypel88	@fabianbanga @Comprof1 Very true Some are seen as ‘sideline teachers’ while others are seen as assets #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:29
@fabianbanga	@polypel88 @Comprof1 For example for us Adjunct means PT instructor, but other local institutions, adjunct means FT non-tenure. #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:29
@JeffreyKeefer	@merlemassie Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	2/25/2014 16:29
@Comprof1	@LitProfSuz Membership does, but didn’t used to. Also, they require phd to be reviewer. As if teachers can’t contribute. #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:30
@polypel88	@LitProfSuz @Comprof1 This is good to know: I wonder what this inclusive spirit will mean for adjuncts #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:30
@timlriley	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer @polypel88 #adjunctchat I would fit into this category. Endorsed to teach secondary #english & #journalismmatters	2/25/2014 16:30
@KeBrittain	Yes, skills & experience experience to a certain degree @timlriley @polypel88 @hoosierphd KeBrittain @Comprof1 #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:31
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @polypel88 Interesting. We don’t have “adjuncts” maybe because we are research uni with TA’s. #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:31
@LitProfSuz	As a FT grad student, I adjuncted for experience. Wasn’t aware of adjunct issues until recently when it became my job. #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:31
@polypel88	@fabianbanga @Comprof1 I have seen it both ways for sure. What do you think about a person who works tFT but adjuncts PT? #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:31

@LitProfSuz	@polypel88 @Comprof1 I’m presenting this AERA, & will pay more attention to adjunct issues. Didn’t notice before #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:32
@timlriley	@polypel88 @fabianbanga @Comprof1 #adjunctchat I’ve seen it and it angers me a little. Teach FT at one school & adjunct at another.	2/25/2014 16:33

@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @polypel88 AERA is only for a TT world that is behind us; they offer little (nothing?) for adjuncts @AERA_EdResearch #AdjunctChat	2/25/2014 16:34
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer @polypel88 “professional training to at least the master’s degree level or equivalent” is the requirement #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:34

@polypel88	@LitProfSuz @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer I believe we should … or they should raise the pay for FT professors #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:39
@JeffreyKeefer	@LitProfSuz @polypel88 I like the notion of educational research, but the org that claims the title does not help adjuncts #AdjunctChat	2/25/2014 16:40

@merlemassie	#adjunctchat Women used to work for ‘pin money’, little extras. Is there a risk that #adjunct work is viewed the same way?	2/25/2014 16:40
@polypel88	@Comprof1 @fabianbanga to have a second job at all. Some corporate people also teach. nurses teach adjunct classes #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:41
@JeffreyKeefer	@polypel88 A3: My FT org welcomes its employees to work as #adjuncts; interest in outreach and focus on current evidence #AdjunctChat	2/25/2014 16:41
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @polypel88 Also, some are “experts” but not professors. Old system is to get expert in to teach speciality #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:41
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 @polypel88 we need an anti-segregation strategy. the difficulty is also with professors who support the segregation. #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:41
@polypel88	@Comprof1 @fabianbanga @chronicle there is a subversive “Othering” of the adjunct in some of the rhetoric #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:42
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @polypel88 @AERA_EdResearch Alas an old academic model that will perish if it does not change as quickly as HE itself #AdjunctChat	2/25/2014 16:42
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @polypel88 Now I think unis need educators (uni level) with specialities. #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:42
@polypel88	@JeffreyKeefer I also find that creative processes become infused through interaction with youthful outlooks #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:43

@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga @Comprof1@polypel88 It does seem that this is speaking for the need for insights from critical theory? #AdjunctChat	2/25/2014 16:44
@Comprof1	@merlemassie I think that is the trad perception which is why we have the problem we have. Perception hasn’t changed w/ reality #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:44

@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @polypel88 Why I have worked in so many depts Perhaps unis should start having adjunct pools as way for stable job #adjunctchat	2/25/2014 16:46
@JeffreyKeefer	@merlemassie It is doable depending on one’s life. I often #adjunct 2 simultaneous courses while working FT elsewhere, like now #AdjunctChat	2/25/2014 16:48
