| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer Thank you for the welcome. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:06 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | I am sensitive to the knowing that many colleagues are attending #cocalXI here in #NYC right now and who cannot join #AdjunctChat today. | 8/5/14 16:06 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @kristine_tx Welcome to #AdjunctChat! | 8/5/14 16:06 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar Can you share a bit about what you teach as an adjunct / contingent / sessional / casual instructor? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:07 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer I like being able to have a flexible schedule and learn new things. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:07 |
| @lindathestar | I’m teaching Social Determinants of Health to first years at La Trobe Uni’s Bendigo campus in Victoria Australia #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:07 |

| @kristine_tx | @JeffreyKeefer Paralegal technology studies at @pulaskitech (via distance learning thru @Blackboard) #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:09 |
| @lindathestar | It is my fifth year teaching this subject. Enquiry-based learning & group work w 2 hour workshops. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:09 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @kristine_tx @JeffreyKeefer @pulaskitech @Blackboard Wonderful, welcome to #AdjunctChat! | 8/5/14 16:10 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @kristine_tx @JeffreyKeefer @pulaskitech @Blackboard Wonderful, welcome to #AdjunctChat! | 8/5/14 16:10 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @kristine_tx Also teach marktng, international/global studies, writing, and ESL. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:10 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar Do you get to change up your teaching? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:11 |
| @LitProfSuz | Hi #adjunctchat. I teach at 2 places, Adult Accelerated Humanities & Education. Now also editing. | 8/5/14 16:11 |
| @AdjunctChat | Today’s #AdjunctChat topic is “What do you LIKE about adjuncting?” and some background information is http://t.co/SXmUWI73Va | 8/5/14 16:12 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz Welcome to #AdjunctChat! | 8/5/14 16:12 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar One thing I like about adjuncting is I’ve been asked to teach a wide range of courses I wouldn’t have thought to. #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:12 |
| @lindathestar | @Comprof1 We have a workshop guide but there is space for individual creativity eg icebreakers, case studies, examples. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:13 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @kristine_tx @JeffreyKeefer @pulaskitech @Blackboard That must make for some interesting teaching stories #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:13 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz What is adult accelerated humanities? Sounds interesting. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:13 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | While some have already started, I want to make sure everybody can see our first Question to help guide our #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:14 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q1: What do you like about being an adjunct, contingent, or sessional faculty member? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:14 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar I sometimes feel I have more freedom in my class than tenure track faculty. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:14 |
| @lindathestar | @Comprof1 I’ve taught about 6 subjects in Education & same in Public Health. Good variety. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:15 |
| @LitProfSuz | @Comprof1 It is an accelerated bachelor degree for working adults in multiple subjects. I teach the Humanities courses. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:15 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I prefer visiting professor because I also had access to research funding and colleagues/conferences. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:16 |
| @lindathestar | @Comprof1 Freedom in course or freedom to go home early when teaching is over? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:16 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz Is it a cross discipline course? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:17 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A1 I like student interaction. My classes are graduate and doctoral, so I think of my learners as early-stage colleagues #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:17 |
| @AdjunctChat | RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q1: What do you like about being an adjunct, contingent, or sessional faculty member? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:17 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar Freedom in course. My current uni requires office hours & we get student evals which I need to continue contract. #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:18 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer I’m trying to think of adjunct/casual specific benefits. Teaching’s overall benefit is the students! #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:18 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A1: I also like the access to the library and database resources #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:18 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I find when I have a good class of students, I enjoy learning from them. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:19 |
| @injenuity | RT @JeffreyKeefer: Q1: What do you like about being an adjunct, contingent, or sessional faculty member? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:19 |
| @LitProfSuz | @Comprof1 I teach Intro to Literature; English; Romantisim; Modernism; Contemporary Studies. Some are cross discipline #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:19 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A1: I like the entire teaching and learning process; while my courses are all applied, they do allow for some theory, too #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:20 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer Last yr in my Speech Comm class, had a group of inner city 1st gen uni students. Really impressed w/ them #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:20 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 Can you think of smething off-hand you have learned from your students? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:20 |
| @lindathestar | @Comprof1 As a sex educator (which isn’t what I’m teaching) I warn them I use sex ed examples to make up for lack of SRE #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:20 |
| @LitProfSuz | A1) Although it can be hectic, I like the challenge of picking up & designing new to me courses #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:20 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer Learned what their life was like which is so diff than mine in small town/more rural NY. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:21 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar Some people teach as an adjunct / casual for the money, too #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:21 |
| @lindathestar | @Comprof1 It’s good to have freedom to use professional & life skills in teaching. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:21 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar I KNOW the money is often not great, but I have heard of people supplementing FT work or retirement in this way #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:21 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer Yeah, I would be lost w/o these resources, limited though they r. Also have access to IRB to continue research #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:22 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar I do not teach for the money; it is not quite enough to make it worth the time and effort. It is more a passion #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:22 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @lindathestar Can you talk more about this? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:23 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer The money is paying my mortgage right now. Very handy. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:23 |
| @LitProfSuz | A1) As a grad stdnt, it was good to get experience teaching in HE for CV #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:23 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 @lindathestar I am proposing a new course, something I have been quite interested in teaching, and it is a gap now #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:24 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @kristine_tx What do you like about teaching as an #adjunct? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:24 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I used some of concepts from my dissertation & was able to get different perspective on group comm from discuss #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:24 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz A1: and now? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:24 |
| @robinyap | @JeffreyKeefer Hey I get to join part of #adjunctchat today. A1 the students, the knowledge transfer, the aha moments | 8/5/14 16:25 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Being flexible and open to exploring new topics is stimulating and fun. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:25 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Being flexible and open to exploring new topics is stimulating and fun. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:25 |
| @LitProfSuz | A1) I like the more flexible schedule. Not expected to be an campus like FTT. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:25 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @robinyap Welcome to #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:25 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @robinyap Can you talk more about what you have in mind about knowledge transfer with students? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:26 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @lindathestar I love creating a new course.Sometimes difficult to convince dept head. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:26 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 There is a freedom in not having tenure I could be risking by being adventurous. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:26 |
| @Comprof1 | @robinyap @JeffreyKeefer Your aha moments or students? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:27 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q1: What do you like about being an adjunct, contingent, or sessional faculty member? #AdjunctChat #ECRchat #phdchat #auscasuals | 8/5/14 16:27 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer Well, I have more than enough experience for my CV, but I am expanding my repertoire #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:27 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Although if I had tenure I’d still want to be creative and pushing boundaries for best teaching #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:27 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz Building CVs can be engaging, but can you talk more about why or how you are trying to expand it? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:27 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer Or trying new courses that maybe don’t fit a single dept. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:28 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar Ahh, the risks of freedom! #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:28 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Let’s proceed with Q2 #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:29 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q2: What difference do you think your work and commitment makes? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:29 |
| @lindathestar | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer I’m not sure if as a casual I could introduce a new course. There is one I see a need for… #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:29 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer Me too. Different type of risk. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:29 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar @Comprof1 Interesting how this seems to relate to the teaching vs. research dualism, if such a thing exists #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:30 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer Can’t say it is a plan,but I am frequently picking up new classes. I’m a generalist-can teach across disciplines #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:30 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @robinyap Remember to use the #AdjunctChat tag so everybody can see it! | 8/5/14 16:30 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer The difference is purely for the students. Many say I’m the only one that knows their name. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:30 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar @Comprof1 Have you considered suggesting it? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:30 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Not paid for research or writing time as a casual 😦 #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:31 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer As a FTT, I might not get that opportunity to teach across areas. #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:31 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 I should. You’ve inspired me now. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:31 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer Many TT in dept have 100+ students and TA’s. Time only to get to know grad students #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:32 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @LitProfSuz Yes, those FTT faculty are often too focused to be broad #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:32 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar @Comprof1 Excellent! Let us know how it goes!! #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:33 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer I get great evaluations. I aim to develop good practitioners and encourage wide thinking. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:33 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer Actually, new course always gives me a good excuse to do research (otherwise not paid for). #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:33 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A2: I think a difference I make with my students is I try to bridge the research / practice divide with my expertise in both #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:34 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer Actually, Q2 is what makes me question continuing as adjunct. sometimes don’t feel there is any difference. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:34 |
| @bgrassbluecrab | @Comprof1 @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer generally not paid for class prep either, though #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:35 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @bgrassbluecrab @Comprof1 @lindathestar Yes, this is not something to do for the money, alas. That is another conversation! #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:35 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 Then again, lots of people do seem to get up and do their jobs every day without thinking about making a difference #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:36 |
| @Comprof1 | @bgrassbluecrab @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer True (although sometimes if specialized may get higher pay), but good excuse.#AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:36 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 A2: I thrive on mission-driven organizations and cultures, so that is what gets me out of bed in the morning #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:37 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @bgrassbluecrab Welcome to #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:37 |
| @Comprof1 | @bgrassbluecrab @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer I love research so if I need to research to teach a class, I don’t feel “stale” #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:37 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer The difference I make for students is as a teacher – adjunct or not does not matter #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:37 |
| @AdjunctChat | Q2: What difference do you think your work and commitment makes? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:37 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar Can you talk more about what you have in mind? A2 #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:38 |
| @LitProfSuz | @JeffreyKeefer Just got a compliment from FT colleague, my research/publishing is spurring other FT to do it. Shucks! #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:38 |
| @kristine_tx | A2 Provides #practical experience to my #students while giving back to my profession. #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:39 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer My passion for the topic, and connection to students is the same if adjunct or on contract #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:40 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer My passion for the topic, and connection to students is the same if adjunct or on contract #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:40 |
| @robinyap | @JeffreyKeefer A2 Applicability of the theories since I’m a practitioner-academic. Sharing experiences is key #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:40 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer It’s an approach to teaching irrespective of conditions … tho’ as conditions worsen I give less😞 #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:42 |
| @lindathestar | @JeffreyKeefer Thanks for including me today. Have to get up & go teach now. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:43 |
| @Comprof1 | Q2 #adjunctchat also like workg out solutions to problems students have or may have. I love they come back & say remember when. #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:43 |
| @Comprof1 | RT @lindathestar: @JeffreyKeefer It’s an approach to teaching irrespective of conditions … tho’ as conditions worsen I give less😞 #Adjun… | 8/5/14 16:43 |
| @LitProfSuz | A2) As compared to my FTT advisor, I think I have more work/life balance. Less pressure, committees, campus time #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:44 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar @JeffreyKeefer You need to. Also I think its important for students to understand ed system & how it works. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:44 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q3: How do you reconcile this with the challenges being an adjunct faculty? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:45 |
| @4KM | May I drop in late to #AdjunctChat? | 8/5/14 16:46 |
| @Comprof1 | Q2 sometimes I have an impact on my colleagues getting them to see diff perspective that is less academic #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:46 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer Can you clarify this? Reconcile what? #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:47 |
| @4KM | A1 May be repeating, but I like seeing the world through many lenses including scholar and practitioner #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:47 |
| @Comprof1 | RT @4KM: A1 May be repeating, but I like seeing the world through many lenses including scholar and practitioner #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:48 |
| @4KM | @Comprof1 It may be an illusion, but I think I can see academic cultures better by virtue of being a partial outsider #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:48 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @4KM Of course; you are always welcome #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:49 |
| @4KM | @JeffreyKeefer I can do administrative work, but prefer to spend more time immersed in the learning process #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:50 |
| @4KM | @JeffreyKeefer Thanks Jeffrey #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:50 |
| @4KM | Every time I join one of these chats I’m reminded there are 52 flavors of adjunct #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:51 |

| @VCVaile | RT @4KM: Every time I join one of these chats I’m reminded there are 52 flavors of adjunct #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:52 |
| @bgrassbluecrab | @4KM I was just thinking the same thing. It’s really hard to generalize. Adjuncting is usu. part of more complex package #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:52 |
| @4KM | A3 Some adjuncts get pay comparable to full time faculty; some get a lot of respect; some aren’t 2nd class citizens #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:52 |
| @Comprof1 | @robinyap Any colleagues? I always went outside of dept. Also, i take advantage of training for network opportunities #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:53 |
| @LitProfSuz | A3) I haven’t reconciled. Some days I’m delighted, other days frustrated. Try to focus on gratitude. #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:53 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz Just when I have problem class or problem w/ dept. something comes up to offset it (i.e. research opp) #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:55 |
| @4KM | A3 I have met tenured faculty who are miserable. A bit like the kid who becomes a lawyer because his father wanted him to #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:55 |

| @YourDailyArt | @JeffreyKeefer I like not being obligated to do extra work or committees but also waiting for 1st pay makes for a long summer. #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:55 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz my adjunct experience has made me very marketable to diff depts as adjunct but not for TT 😦 #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:56 |
| @LitProfSuz | @Comprof1 Wonder sometimes if FT in one place might be easier. Get more respect. Have an affiliation etc. #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:57 |
| @4KM | Humans jump to conclusions when marginalized. Because I’m [fill in blank with woman or young or old or adjunct…] #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:57 |
| @Comprof1 | @LitProfSuz But that is currently difficult to find. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:58 |
| @Comprof1 | RT @4KM: Humans jump to conclusions when marginalized. Because I’m [fill in blank with woman or young or old or adjunct…] #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 16:59 |
| @bgrassbluecrab | .@4KM that’s true, but i think it’s a fair generalization to say that adjunct is a marginalized title these days #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 16:59 |

| @4KM | I’m a bit distanced @bgrassbluecrab That term isn’t used where I work; adjunct friends give diverse perspectives on respect #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 17:02 |

| @4KM | No big changes for next steps. Plan to shift to thesis supervision for a while after course design/delivery completed #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 17:03 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer There are some advantages to being an adjunct & good reasons for people to choose this status. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 17:03 |

| @bgrassbluecrab | terminology is an interesting aspect @4KM like ‘adjunct’ versus ‘visiting’ or other functional adjuncts #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 17:04 |
| @4KM | Yes, I recall that. RT @VCVaile: @4KM @Comprof1 Edward Said said the same about viewing any culture #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 17:04 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer I think it’s important to distinguish between those that choose adjuncting and those who are forced into it #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 17:04 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Comprof1 Sorry; Q2 was about linking #adjunct work and commitment with making a difference; some may be at odds with this #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 17:05 |
| @4KM | If the university values applied scholarship, adjuncts can be the stars. #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 17:05 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @4KM Glad you were able to join #AdjunctChat today | 8/5/14 17:05 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @4KM: A1 May be repeating, but I like seeing the world through many lenses including scholar and practitioner #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 17:05 |
| @LitProfSuz | @4KM I’m editing dissertations this semester. I’m excited about this new job. #adjunctchat | 8/5/14 17:05 |

| @VCVaile | @JeffreyKeefer that I regret missing as much #adjunctchat as I did…better some than none though | 8/5/14 17:05 |
| @4KM | @VCVaile You almost automatically become an ethnographer as an adjunct! #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 17:06 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | @bgrassbluecrab @4KM There is a great diversity in adjunct experiences, this is why it is so valuable to have dialogue #AdjunctChat | 8/5/14 17:08 |
