| @connectedtchr | @JeffreyKeefer … apologies, I can’t make it either. Early morning here and coincides with arrival at work. Hope chat goes well #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:10 |
| @CAPAWca | @Comprof1 A public uni (thankfully!) #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:10 |
| @deborahbrian | A1. Australia, Group-of-Eight (Go8, “sandstone”) university, i.e. premier, research-intensive institution. #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:10 |
| @unicasual | @JeffreyKeefer about 27,000 staff – union density above Oz average #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:10 |
| @Comprof1 | @JeffreyKeefer @unicasual Are staff & faculty the same? #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:11 |

| @Acahacker | @JeffreyKeefer Good question. I’m a human geographer but as casual researcher, am currently involved in bits and pieces #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:12 |
| @fabianbanga | @Acahacker r you an Adjunct or TT researcher? #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:12 |
| @lindathestar | Good morning #AdjunctChat from Bendigo, Victoria, Australia | 5/20/14 17:12 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @connectedtchr Look forward to your replies to the #AdjunctChat tagged responses later! | 5/20/14 17:12 |
| @Comprof1 | @fabianbanga @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer That was me last week. #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:12 |
| @deborahbrian | @fabianbanga Hi Fabian – first time I’ve actually made it to #adjunctchat on time, I think! | 5/20/14 17:12 |
| @KateMfD | A1: Australia has its own slightly weird internal divisions between university types. See @deborahbrian “G08”. #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:13 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @Acahacker OK, here is your challenge — can you explain human geography to a newbie in a single Tweet? #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:13 |
| @Acahacker | @JeffreyKeefer WHS/ OHS, not for profit and corporate governance. And co-hosting CASA w/ @KateMfD #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:13 |
| @lindathestar | I teach at a rural campus of a uni in two schools, Education and Health Sciences #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:13 |
| @deborahbrian | @KateMfD definitely weird 😉 #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:13 |
| @unicasual | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer we cover all academic and general/professional staff. #NTEU brought together 5 uni unions in 1993. #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:13 |
| @KateMfD | @UCUAnti_Cas @JeffreyKeefer Didn’t know that covered prisons too — is that the case in Australia, @NTEUNational? #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:13 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | @deborahbrian Good thing online communities and chats are forgiving of “time” !! #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:14 |
| @fabianbanga | @lindathestar hi Australia, welcome to #adjunctchat / Fabian from Berkeley, CA, USA | 5/20/14 17:14 |
| @Comprof1 | @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat I actually cross disciplines & taught in comm, global studies, marketg/mgmt, & edtech #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:14 |
| @fabianbanga | @KateMfD @deborahbrian tell us more! #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:14 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | If you are just joining us, we are finishing Q1 What country and institution type do you teach in? #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:15 |
| @Acahacker | @fabianbanga Casual (adjunct) reseacher here – paid, hired and fired by the hour. But ++ hours than casual (adjunct) teaching #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:15 |

| @deborahbrian | @JeffreyKeefer True – and I enjoy catching up afterwards, even if I can’t make it to #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:15 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q2 What terms are used to describe instructors who are not employed on an ongoing basis? #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:15 |
| @UCUAnti_Cas | RT @unicasual: @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer we cover all academic and general/professional staff. #NTEU brought together 5 uni unions in 1993. … | 5/20/14 17:15 |
| @Comprof1 | @lindathestar Good point. I teach in small city but most students are from NYCity area. #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:15 |
| @KateMfD | @Comprof1 @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer Is teaching across disciplines common for US adjuncts? #AdjunctChat? | 5/20/14 17:15 |
| @CAPAWca | @Comprof1 That’s part of our disciplinary “flexibility” – we teach across disciplines sometimes to survive #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:15 |
| @NTEUNational | @KateMfD @UCUAnti_Cas @JeffreyKeefer no but we cover adult and community ed some TAFEs and research institutes #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:16 |
| @Acahacker | @JeffreyKeefer Challenge accepted! Human geographers look at people’s relationships with space & place. How people shape place #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:16 |

| @JeffreyKeefer | @lindathestar Welcome to #AdjunctChat! | 5/20/14 17:18 |
| @deborahbrian | A2 in Australia, we’re called “casual academics” or “sessional academics” or just “casuals” within #highered context #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:18 |
| @unicasual | @Comprof1 I’m curious about thatt too @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer @KateMfD #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:18 |
| @Comprof1 | @KateMfD @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer It is in my experience. I was “internationalist” and “language” so in many depts. #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:18 |
| @Acahacker | @Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Cross-disciplinarian here too! You have to be I think, esp if working as a sessional (another term!) #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:18 |
| @KateMfD | @JeffreyKeefer Here we use “sessional” academics and, very commonly, “casuals”. “Adjuncts” refers to something else. #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:18 |
| @fabianbanga | @NTEUNational welcome to #adjunctchat
@KateMfD @UCUAnti_Cas @JeffreyKeefer |
5/20/14 17:18 |
| @VCVaile | the smaller the campus, the more likely we’ll teach more areas, like good garden mules ~ ride, drive, plow, snake logs #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:18 |
| @Comprof1 | @KateMfD @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer Also helps to piece together enough work. #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:18 |
| @uniacademic | #AdjunctChat Q2 sessional, casual, temporary, precarious workers, disposable academics, ” the staff downstairs” | 5/20/14 17:18 |
| @Acahacker | @fabianbanga Absolutely. I love teaching but Money Talks #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:19 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A2 In the US, part-time instructors in higher education are usually called adjuncts #AdjunctChat! | 5/20/14 17:19 |
| @VCVaile | what term is best understood globally? #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:19 |
| @CAPAWca | A2; nomenclature differs by institution and collective agreement 1/2 #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:19 |
| @deborahbrian | @fabianbanga in Australia, there are a small number of old, sandstone universities, and a larger number of new uni’s > #adjunctchat @KateMfD | 5/20/14 17:19 |
| @lindathestar | @Comprof1 Most of my students are from rural places & many refer rural city not capital city for uni. Lowish entry score #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:20 |
| @CAPAWca | A2: some places part-time, sessional, and in Quebec charge(e)s de cours #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:20 |
| @Acahacker | @Comprof1 @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer Yes, we’re always talking here bout our talents piecing together lil bits of contracts. #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:20 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | A2 PT faculty in HE can also be part-time or sessional or even Visiting Faculty #AdjunctChat! | 5/20/14 17:20 |
| @CAPAWca | #AdjunctChat (in Canada, we don’t use the term adjunct commonly) | 5/20/14 17:20 |
| @KateMfD | Q2. Here “adjunct” refers often to a professional (e.g. doctor, lawyer) who also has an honorary teaching position #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:20 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @VCVaile: what term is best understood globally? #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:20 |

| @fabianbanga | @KateMfD in some area, you need an FSA in the subject (no 4 private univ/colleges) #adjunctchat @Comprof1 @Acahacker @JeffreyKeefer | 5/20/14 17:21 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | RT @KateMfD: Q2. Here “adjunct” refers often to a professional (e.g. doctor, lawyer) who also has an honorary teaching position #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:21 |
| @UCUAnti_Cas | @JeffreyKeefer Q2 – a confusing array of terms – part time, hourly paid, fixed term, zero hours, sessional, even consultant! #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:21 |
| @Comprof1 | @deborahbrian I have been “instructor” “adjunct” “term instructor” “visiting professor””lecturer” (I know last is unique to US) #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:21 |
| @lindathestar | @Comprof1 Not all courses have low entry req; some highly competitive. Makes common Heath Sci 1st yr complex to teach #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:21 |
| @VCVaile | @KateMfD like Dozent in Germany #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:21 |
| @unicasual | @CAPAWca interesting. employment conditions vary much across nomenclature? #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:21 |
| @Acahacker | @Comprof1 @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer I feel extremely lucky to be based in a discipline that really fits into so many others #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:21 |
| @deborahbrian | @fabianbanga < not very different in function, but older ones more research-focused, more prestigious > #adjunctchat @KateMfD | 5/20/14 17:22 |
| @CAPAWca | #AdjunctChat as #badmin thrives on dividing us, perhaps arriving at a common term would be a way to promote definitional solidarity… | 5/20/14 17:22 |
| @KateMfD | @VCVaile Adjunct really doesn’t mean the same here, but to connect to you all we have to work with/around it. #AdjunctChat. | 5/20/14 17:22 |
| @UCUAnti_Cas | @JeffreyKeefer Q2 A ….also #casualised, #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:22 |
| @fabianbanga | @deborahbrian the separation here is between private and public / big differences @KateMfD #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:22 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q2 I did my PhD in the UK and interviewed doct cand around the world, as such I learned different terms for the “same” thing! #AdjunctChat! | 5/20/14 17:22 |
| @uniacademic | Can’t think of any other profession where workers are commonly tagged by employment status? #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:23 |
| @KateMfD | @UCUAnti_Cas @JeffreyKeefer Do you use “fractional”? What does that mean? #AdjunctChat Q2 | 5/20/14 17:23 |

| @CAPAWca | @unicasual #AdjunctChat Not really if we are speaking of per-course pay. But nomenclature can conceal labour divisions | 5/20/14 17:23 |

| @Comprof1 | @deborahbrian A2 Titles have changed over the yrs. Also differs by institution instructor is non-phd Lecturer is Phd at our uni #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:25 |
| @KateMfD | @uniacademic That’s a huge point: the designation is already (always) about what’s limited. #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:25 |
| @deborahbrian | @fabianbanga not really, but we have intermediate level (TAFE) focused on vocational training with some pathways to uni #adjunctchat KateMfD | 5/20/14 17:25 |

| @UCUAnti_Cas | @KateMfD @JeffreyKeefer Yes, but this usually refers to secure work – e.g. 0.5, 0.8 of a full time, secure contract #adjunctchat. Q2 A | 5/20/14 17:25 |
| @Acahacker | Q2 In Australia we refer to casuals, sessionals. Not adjuncts tho’- for us, refer to retired profs return’g to teach undergrad #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:25 |
| @Comprof1 | @deborahbrian A2 Also, difference between TA (teaching assistant) and adjunct in US. #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:26 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Any other terms for part-time instructors or faculty? A2 #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:26 |
| @CAPAWca | #AdjunctChat sometimes term can be misleading. Some contract staff hired for just a course, others for years. | 5/20/14 17:26 |
| @KateMfD | @fabianbanga @deborahbrian Ask us in two years’ time. Our government is keen on US models. #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:26 |
| @JeffreyKeefer | Q3 How common is #Adjunctivism, or reliance on outsourcing to part-time instructors, where you are? #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:26 |
| @Acahacker | @CAPAWca @unicasual Pay per course isn’t as common here. But it does happen. And when it does> much worse off. #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:27 |
| @fabianbanga | @deborahbrian @deborahbrian Interesting! Definitely a national history and politic connection with this reality #adjunctchat @KateMfD | 5/20/14 17:27 |
| @KateMfD | @JeffreyKeefer A3 This is the common sense question, and it’s really hard to answer because of the way we count. @unicasual? #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:28 |
| @CAPAWca | A3: Not as bad as US (yet) abt 50% of all u/g courses. We have good unionization rate #AdjunctChat | 5/20/14 17:28 |
| @deborahbrian | @Comprof1 yes, difference here is between casual academic (lecturer and course coordinator) and tutor (also casual role) #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:28 |

| @UCUAnti_Cas | RT @Comprof1: A5 Also, making situation public. Finding explanations to students have helped. More aware of situation. #adjunctchat | 5/20/14 17:58 |
