| @JeffreyKeefer | Sorry for the delay . . . but we are now ready! #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:10:17 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Welcome to #AdjunctChat! | 6/24/2014 16:10:29 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Today’s #AdjunctChat topic is a discussion around various Considerations for a Global #AdjunctChat Day http://t.co/0wmfRDFjUg | 6/24/2014 16:11:09 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @Oplerno @lmockford @katrinafee @whowewilltobe I am moderating #AdjunctChat today; later meeting than expected. | 6/24/2014 16:11:48 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Let’s do a check-in; who is here for #AdjunctChat? | 6/24/2014 16:12:09 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I think this is a great idea. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:12:30 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Today’s #AdjunctChat is a continuation of what first arose on May 20 http://t.co/KYLOTwvOVo | 6/24/2014 16:13:34 |
| @frankblues | @JeffreyKeefer I’m around… #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:13:40 |
| @LitProfSuz | Good afternoon! I haven’t been able to attend an #adjunctchat lately. Good to see you! | 6/24/2014 16:13:47 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Those who moderated #AdjunctChat on May 20 @KateMfD @unicasual @Acahacker @UCUAnti_Cas @CAPAWca @JeffreyKeefer have discussed more options. | 6/24/2014 16:15:01 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 Welcome to #AdjunctChat! | 6/24/2014 16:15:21 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @frankblues Welcome to #AdjunctChat! | 6/24/2014 16:15:25 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz Welcome to #AdjunctChat! Great to see you again, too!! | 6/24/2014 16:15:38 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | When we had our first global #AdjunctChat, lots of new ideas and networks started, and we thought we may want to expand on this a bit. | 6/24/2014 16:16:10 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | . . . and this #AdjunctChat today just came together as an opportunity to publicly share and consider some of the ideas we have floated. | 6/24/2014 16:17:15 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q1: What are your thoughts about trying a day-long #AdjunctChat? | 6/24/2014 16:17:20 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I just jump in here. I think a 24 hr (day of adjunct) is a great idea but will take some organization. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:17:24 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer #acwri does a month of activities 24 hours a day for a month. they have people sign up to moderate at all times #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:18:25 |
| @frankblues | @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat What’s the goal? Awareness? Participation? Connection? | 6/24/2014 16:18:30 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 A1 Yes, some organizing, which is something that we wanted to begin to see if there is interest in #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:18:42 |
| @AdjunctChat | RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q1: What are your thoughts about trying a day-long #AdjunctChat? | 6/24/2014 16:19:00 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer So we would just need to get enough people to sign up to moderate for 24 hours. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:19:39 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 So #acwri does it for 24 hours OR for a solid month (once a year)? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:19:46 |
| @Comprof1 | RT @frankblues: @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat What’s the goal? Awareness? Participation? Connection? | 6/24/2014 16:19:51 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @frankblues: @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat What’s the goal? Awareness? Participation? Connection? | 6/24/2014 16:19:54 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @frankblues I think the goals are all of the above #AdjunctChat A1 | 6/24/2014 16:20:09 |
| @Comprof1 | @frankblues @JeffreyKeefer Related, should we have topics for people to volunteer moderation or have moderators propose topics? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:20:42 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 Does it need to be fully moderated for all 24 hours? #AdjunctChat A1 | 6/24/2014 16:20:48 |
| @AdjunctChat | Today’s #AdjunctChat topic is a discussion around various Considerations for a Global #AdjunctChat Day http://t.co/UzhaCEJOq9 | 6/24/2014 16:21:26 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer They have 24 hour coverage for 30 days. I’m not suggesting that. But they do have moderators 24/7 #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:21:42 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @frankblues Great question! We were thinking the same topic so to see how it moves or is experienced around the world #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:22:49 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 For me personally, the exciting thing @ a twitter chat is the instant replies-more conversational. #adjunctchat | 6/24/2014 16:22:54 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I think so if we are going to be truly global. #AdjunctChat We could have duplicate topics w/ diff moderators #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:23:10 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @frankblues However, perhaps sign up moderators and ask them to propose different topics? A1 #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:23:35 |
| @frankblues | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Could there be moderation by timezone? Rotate by question? | 6/24/2014 16:23:53 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Think we could have enough constant participation to still make it a chat, & not just a hashtag? #adjunctchat | 6/24/2014 16:24:51 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @frankblues @Comprof1 We have a group in the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. I am not sure if elsewhere #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:25:13 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz @Comprof1 Now that may be one of the questions of the day! #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:25:44 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @frankblues Or if you wanted discussion of same topics could have 4 or 6 topics replicated with different mods.#adjunctchat | 6/24/2014 16:25:57 |
| @AdjunctChat | Q1: What are your thoughts about trying a day-long #AdjunctChat? | 6/24/2014 16:26:25 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q2: What would be some of the benefits of this form of #AdjunctChat? | 6/24/2014 16:27:09 |
| @LitProfSuz | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer @frankblues Yay, maybe rotate 4 topics thru the day for global perspective? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:27:21 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Hmmm…maybe start with a 12 hour window? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:28:26 |
| @ProfessorF74 | RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q1: What are your thoughts about trying a day-long #AdjunctChat? | 6/24/2014 16:28:58 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz @Comprof1 Tell more about what you are thinking? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:31:40 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A2 I think some of the benefits of this will be to network, share resources, and expand our horizons #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:32:22 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A2 I also think that what is happening with HE in the USA is affecting how everybody else practices HE cost-cutting #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:32:48 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Well, rather than 24 hrs, try 12 hrs. Maybe less trickling of participation? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:33:13 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A2 Talking together about how we all handle things or can support one another can be beneficial for a global sense of “us” #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:33:41 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer We could have 5 different chats on the 4 topics at a given local time i.e. 4pm Gmt, Edt, etc…#AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:33:57 |
| @LitProfSuz | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Hmm.. 4 pm at every time zone. Have a moderator per time zone. Same topic would provide continuity #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:36:06 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q3: What are some of the hurdles we may need to address? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:36:45 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer Wondering if we should poll people to find out interest, topic, time? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:36:49 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer We need lead time to publicize, but not too long so people forget. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:37:45 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 I think that is a great idea! #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:38:58 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer We need about a week of intense publicity the week before by twitter volunteers. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:39:38 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 We were actually considering August 5 for this . . . #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:39:41 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | You do know I may be reaching out to you all to help with this, right?! 🙂 #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:40:03 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 So, I take it you are on board with the idea?! #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:40:47 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 So, I take it you are on board with the idea?! #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:40:47 |
| @frankblues | @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Yup. | 6/24/2014 16:40:55 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer That is a tough time because Europe is off & classes begin in US #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:40:55 |
| @KateMfD | Sorry to be late to #AdjunctChat. Winter dark here. @JeffreyKeefer | 6/24/2014 16:41:01 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Good time to inspire for the new school year #adjunctchat. But, need more visibility & recruitment | 6/24/2014 16:41:22 |
| @frankblues | @JeffreyKeefer I need to go get ready for class. Will catch up later! Thanks all! #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:41:28 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | What can we use to poll people or eventually ask people to sign up for? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:41:56 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer Definately, but not if it is August 5. I find internationally october is a better month. #AdjunctChat Esp end of Oct. | 6/24/2014 16:42:10 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @KateMfD Welcome; we were just talking about you (so to speak!!) #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:42:25 |
| @Comprof1 | @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer What months are good/bad for academics where you are? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:43:09 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 Goodness, four months away? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:43:10 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @frankblues Thanks for stopping by! I prep for class in about 15 . . . #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:43:38 |
| @LitProfSuz | @Comprof1 glad you know more @ scheduling around the world than I! #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:43:46 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q4: What are some potential topics with a global reach? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:43:49 |
| @AdjunctChat | RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q4: What are some potential topics with a global reach? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:44:22 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer If we want worldwide participation, I think we are going to have to. I know August I might not be able to part. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:44:43 |
| @LitProfSuz | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Oct 5th is World Teacher Day – #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:45:22 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz Worked in international training for 10 yrs. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:45:24 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer What a great day to do it! #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:46:31 |
| @KateMfD | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Sept is good for us for global #adjunctchat. Aug 5 could be a promo to confirm topics. | 6/24/2014 16:46:34 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A4 FOr topics, how about just discussing a status of what adjunct or contingent faculty is like where you live? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:47:04 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A4 Another topic can be the challenges qnd benefits of part-time instruction in HE #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:47:26 |

| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz I also know from my students creating international online conferences for comm class it takes time to organize. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:47:58 |
| @KateMfD | @LitProfSuz @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Oct 5 also OK, just. Getting towards the hard end of the year, grading-wise. #adjunctchat | 6/24/2014 16:48:04 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @KateMfD @Comprof1 So this way the development itself can be over time and with public feedback / input! #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:48:12 |
| @Comprof1 | RT @KateMfD: @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Sept is good for us for global #adjunctchat. Aug 5 could be a promo to confirm topics. | 6/24/2014 16:48:24 |
| @AdjunctChat | Q4: What are some potential topics with a global reach? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:48:50 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer It might also be nice to have a blog post from each moderator on status of contingent in their country. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:49:34 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer Might that become a little too negative (potentially)? We’d probably have many newbies-don’t want to scare them #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:49:41 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @KateMfD Also helps to create followship for day’s chat. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:50:28 |
| @KateMfD | A key issue for us is raising awareness of what’s systematic about academic precarity in current global economy #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:50:32 |
| @PrecariousFac | RT @KateMfD: @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Sept is good for us for global #adjunctchat. Aug 5 could be a promo to confirm topics. | 6/24/2014 16:51:33 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz Perhaps . . . what comes to mind for a topic, or rather what would you like to discuss that may appeal globally? A4 #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:51:37 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Finally, the final question for today – Q5: What tag(s) can we use that may be global in scope? #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:51:54 |

| @KateMfD | Q4 we also thought about sharing images of adjunct/casual workspaces. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:53:27 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer Maybe rephrasing- How do you find support as contingent faculty? Or, what strategies do you use to succeed as.. #adjunctchat | 6/24/2014 16:53:41 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A5 It seems the term “adjunct” is not used globally; there may not be an ideal term for this #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:54:07 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A5 We have had some discussion as to how fitting “#AdjunctChat” is as a term that has global reach, or at least relatebility. | 6/24/2014 16:54:34 |

| @KateMfD | A5 Genuinely tough. Adjunct has costs for us — it means something else here. We wondered about creating a tag from an acronym. #AdjunctChat | 6/24/2014 16:56:01 |
