| JeffreyKeefer | After our most active poll to date today’s #adjunctchat topic is: What effects do long-time adjunct work have on one’s professional identity | 8/22/2013 16:03:41 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Welcome to anybody who is interested in this topic #adjunctchat |
8/22/2013 16:04:22 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Let’s see who is here. Want to introduce yourselves and mention where / what you adjunct? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:04:46 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Hi Jeff! Melissa in South Carolina. Online adjunct instructor – instructional design and technology #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:05:11 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable Welcome to #adjunctchat! | 8/22/2013 16:05:27 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable Is all of your adjunct teaching done online? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:06:32 |
| rskiff | #adjunctchat Rob Skiff in Vermont. | 8/22/2013 16:06:44 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Yes, all online. Two courses right now – one has four synchronous meetings, but the other is all asynch. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:07:18 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I am in New York City and teach Research in both Management & Systems AND Human Resource Management graduate courses #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:07:28 |
| Melissa_Venable | @rskiff Hi Rob! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:07:30 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Welcome to #adjunctchat! | 8/22/2013 16:07:41 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff What do you teach? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:08:10 |
| JeffreyKeefer | For those just joining in #adjunctchat, today’s topic is “What effects do long-time adjunct work have on one’s professional identity?” | 8/22/2013 16:09:13 |
| JeffreyKeefer | How about if we get started with our questions of focus today. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:09:45 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Q1: How long have you been an adjunct? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:09:51 |
| rskiff | #AdjunctChat I have taught history, philosophy…Full disclosure I’m CEO of http://t.co/nYlTeyFgy7 and want to hear about adjunct concerns. | 8/22/2013 16:10:12 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A1: I have been an adjunct for 8 years in 2 different institutions #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:10:23 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Full disclosure is always a good thing; welcome! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:11:03 |
| Melissa_Venable | A1) about 2 years, 2 schools. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:11:49 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Have you ever taught as an adjunct? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:12:03 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable Both schools at the same time? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:12:15 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer This fall will be the first time teaching at two schools at once. Should be exciting 🙂 #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:13:01 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @JeffreyKeefer I am asking as I really teach at 2 universities, with them overlapping for most of my 8 years #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:13:08 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable Exciting and exhausting (depending on whatever else you do! 😉 ) #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:13:34 |
| rskiff | #AdjunctChat Yes at Champlain College and UVM. | 8/22/2013 16:13:50 |
| Melissa_Venable | @rskiff Thanks for the link. Looks interesting. Similar to Udemy? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:13:53 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Exactly!! One more weekend to get all of my calendars straight. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:14:22 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Great to here. While we focus on issues of interest and support for adjuncts, all are welcome here! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:14:51 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable Let’s just say that I have been in a system for a long time, though finally got an appointment letter today! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:15:17 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Great news! Congrats! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:15:45 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable Thank you; things in life do not always move at the speed some would like; I often fit in that world, alas. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:16:25 |
| rskiff | #AdjunctChat Melissa…I think it is quite different. Adjuncts get at 80% of tuition revenue generated in their classes and own the IP. | 8/22/2013 16:16:50 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Anyway, moving on . . . our topic is “What effects do long-time adjunct work have on one’s professional identity?” #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:16:50 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Q2: Did you imagine adjuncting in the way you are right now? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:17:01 |
| Melissa_Venable | @rskiff That’s helpful, thanks! I need to take a closer look – haven’t done much research into creating/offering my own class. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:17:56 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Revenue models and adjuncts do not always align, at least by my calculations! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:18:05 |
| SocAcademic | @JeffreyKeefer absolutely not! #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:18:31 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A2: Back when I started, I thought my adjunct experience would be different than it turned out #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:18:54 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer In what way (q2)? In terms of scheduling, etc. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:19:03 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @SocAcademic Welcome to #adjunctchat! | 8/22/2013 16:19:05 |
| rskiff | @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Not at all. The low pay and lack of job security made me want to redesign an educational inst from teh ground up | 8/22/2013 16:19:23 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @SocAcademic Do tell us more. For A1 or A2? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:19:26 |
| rskiff | @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat I needed a job so I had to create one. | 8/22/2013 16:19:43 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable A2: I envisioned more of a scholarly community or at least more of a business-sort of itneraction #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:19:56 |
| IshaiBarnoy | #adjunctchat Late here. Sorry. I’ve been adjunction at one institution for five years. (A1) | 8/22/2013 16:20:12 |
| 4KM | Hi Jeffrey; just noticed #AdjunctChat Think I’ll lurk for a while! | 8/22/2013 16:20:14 |
| rskiff | @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat What do you mean? | 8/22/2013 16:20:29 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Creating jobs is good for all; why otherwise work if we are not somehow satisfied and engaged? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:20:33 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy Welcome to #adjunctchat! | 8/22/2013 16:20:45 |
| IshaiBarnoy | #adjunctchat I was kind of given the straight talk almost right away. I get some creative control of my classes, but basically nothing else. | 8/22/2013 16:21:04 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @4KM Welcome to #adjunctchat; feel free to engage in any way that works for you. The benefits of public engagement! | 8/22/2013 16:21:19 |
| IshaiBarnoy | #adjunctchat Sorry. That last one was A2. | 8/22/2013 16:21:26 |
| SocAcademic | “@JeffreyKeefer: @Melissa_Venable A2: envisioned more scholarly community, at least more of a business-sort of itneraction #adjunctchat” +1 | 8/22/2013 16:21:33 |
| Melissa_Venable | A2) Not sure what I expected, but experiencing different schools offer different cultures both academic and as employers #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:22:07 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Meaning that the courses I teach bring in tens of thousands of dollars more than I ever see #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:22:21 |
| IshaiBarnoy | #adjunctchat A1) BTW, I’ve got to make it clear that I’m not a PhD. I’ve got an MFA. My pursuits are more creative than scholarly. | 8/22/2013 16:22:42 |
| rskiff | @IshaiBarnoy #AdjunctChat what was the “straight talk?” | 8/22/2013 16:23:01 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Most of the classes I teach cost students anywhere from $3000-$5000 each #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:23:13 |
| 4KM | Hi everyone. Don’t relate to term adjunct because of nature of “my” universities, but I guess I’ve been one for a long time. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:23:37 |
| SocAcademic | “@JeffreyKeefer: @rskiff Meaning that the courses I teach bring in tens of thousands of dollars more than I ever see #adjunctchat” agreed! | 8/22/2013 16:23:38 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy A1: Diversity is a good thing #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:23:40 |
| SocAcademic | RT @JeffreyKeefer: #AdjunctChat THURS 8/22 4:00pm EDT. Topic: What effects do long-time adjunct work have on one’s professional identity? P… | 8/22/2013 16:24:51 |
| rskiff | @SocAcademic @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat that needs to change. Faculty should get at least 80% of the revenue they generate in a class. | 8/22/2013 16:25:09 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Today’s #adjunctchat topic is “What effects do long-time adjunct work have on one’s professional identity?” http://t.co/abIGf4QCIm | 8/22/2013 16:25:29 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @rskiff #AdjunctChat The “straight talk” is, well, that the job’s a job, & here’s the way others have done it; we’re teachers, not scholars. | 8/22/2013 16:25:34 |
| JeffreyKeefer | We are now considering Q2: Did you imagine adjuncting in the way you are right now? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:25:42 |
| SocAcademic | RT @rskiff: @SocAcademic @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat that needs to change. Faculty should get at least 80% of the revenue they generate in … | 8/22/2013 16:25:57 |
| 4KM | Thinking about identity. Mine is scholar-practitioner, so wk with universities helps me keep the scholar side sharp. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:25:57 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A2: I like working independently with my classes and moving them from A>B, though it often seems to happen in a silo #adjunctchat |
8/22/2013 16:26:32 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @rskiff #AdjunctChat Of course, I teach at a community college. It’s a kind of a teacher college environment, not so much “research.” | 8/22/2013 16:26:35 |
| SocAcademic | “@IshaiBarnoy: @rskiff #AdjunctChat “straight talk”= job’s a job, & here’s the way others have done it; we’re teachers, not scholars.” Sad! | 8/22/2013 16:26:43 |
| rskiff | @IshaiBarnoy #AdjunctChat I don’t believe that nonsense…teachers are by their very nature scholars. | 8/22/2013 16:26:50 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @4KM What sort of work do you engage in? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:27:02 |
| 4KM | @ishaibarnoy Interesting. I think of myself more like an impoverished scholar who happens to teach. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:27:03 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @rskiff #AdjunctChat I’m sorry. I don’t mean that as a rhetorical point. Merely the impression I was given about my workplace. | 8/22/2013 16:27:31 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy @rskiff It is interesting in how research can be a focus or something we individually engage in #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:27:55 |
| 4KM | @rskiff Yet about 80% of revenue goes into infrastructure, IT, staff salaries etc. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:28:03 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Next step comes a juicier question! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:28:39 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @4KM #AdjunctChat I’ve reached a state like that, too. However, it’s hard (impossible, maybe) to keep the job and the life separate. | 8/22/2013 16:28:42 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Q3: How do you understand your professional identity? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:28:43 |
| robinyap | @4KM lol on what you said about being an impoverished scholar who happens to teach. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:29:14 |
| rskiff | @4KM #AdjunctChat that is another conversation that should occur via video. Most capital in higher ed is misallocated away from teaching. | 8/22/2013 16:29:24 |
| Melissa_Venable | RT @JeffreyKeefer Q3: How do you understand your professional identity? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:29:38 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A3: I tend to blur my professional, personal, and academic identities #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:29:47 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @4KM Nice way of answering Q3! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:30:22 |
| IshaiBarnoy | @JeffreyKeefer @rskiff #AdjunctChat Well, maybe I suck at research in some fundamental way, b/c my individual engagement is at a low point. | 8/22/2013 16:30:32 |
| rskiff | #AdjunctChat Can I make a plug? | 8/22/2013 16:30:34 |
| SocAcademic | “@4KM: @ishaibarnoy Interesting. I think of myself more like an impoverished scholar who happens to teach. #AdjunctChat” here, here | 8/22/2013 16:30:55 |
| 4KM | Tenured faculty think grant $ 1st; research 2nd. Adjuncts often think research interests first as they may never get $ #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:30:57 |
| robinyap | @JeffreyKeefer Thought I’d join in #AdjunctChat. | 8/22/2013 16:30:57 |
| rskiff | @IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat its probably just the system and/or the tech. | 8/22/2013 16:31:26 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff The life of an adjunct is itself a plug. Go ahead! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:31:28 |
| JeffreyKeefer | It seems there are some really interesting approaches to Q3: How do you understand your professional identity? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:32:03 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @robinyap Welcome to #adjunctchat! | 8/22/2013 16:32:12 |
| 4KM | @robinyap For better or worse, its true! #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:32:51 |
| rskiff | #AdjunctChat I’m looking for scholar practitioners to develop their own classes/programs. http://t.co/7WaG6VKA8G Paradigm needs to change. | 8/22/2013 16:33:33 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy Hang in there! @rskiff #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:33:35 |
| IshaiBarnoy | #AdjunctChat A3) Me: Knowledgeable creative in a professional context that allows him to help students achieve goals and think critically. | 8/22/2013 16:33:46 |
| 4KM | A3 I’m a boat-rocking, reflective pragmatist. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:33:49 |
| JeffreyKeefer | RT @4KM @ishaibarnoy Interesting. I think of myself more like an impoverished scholar who happens to teach. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:34:14 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @4KM A3: I challenge you to unpack that one! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:34:36 |
| SocAcademic | “@rskiff: #AdjunctChat looking for scholar practitioners to develop own classes/prog. http://t.co/kWm87fNTiu Paradigm needs to change.” Cool | 8/22/2013 16:34:49 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable How do you engage in Q3? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:35:04 |
| rskiff | #AdjunctChat faculty own their own IP. Set their tuition and get at least 80% of it. Total academic freedom and can choose size of class <30 | 8/22/2013 16:35:13 |
| IshaiBarnoy | RT @rskiff: #AdjunctChat I’m looking for scholar practitioners to develop their own classes/programs. http://t.co/7WaG6VKA8G Paradigm needs… | 8/22/2013 16:35:24 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @IshaiBarnoy Wow, that is quite nicely stated. It can be a great purpose statement for why you teach #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:35:38 |
| robinyap | @JeffreyKeefer Q3 Scholar-practitioner would be my professional identity #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:35:51 |
| SocAcademic | RT @rskiff: #AdjunctChat faculty own their own IP. Set their tuition and get at least 80% of it. Total academic freedom and can choose size… | 8/22/2013 16:35:54 |
| rskiff | @SocAcademic #AdjunctChat if you have a masters you can apply…extra income for the GTAs… | 8/22/2013 16:36:02 |
| IshaiBarnoy | RT @rskiff: #AdjunctChat faculty own their own IP. Set their tuition and get at least 80% of it. Total academic freedom and can choose size… | 8/22/2013 16:36:06 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Pondering Q3 … it’s definitely evolving, adjunct teaching is just one part of my professional identity. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:36:26 |
| rskiff | #AdjunctChat I’ll stop plugging unless someone has a question. | 8/22/2013 16:36:35 |
| JeffreyKeefer | We are in the middle of today’s #adjunctchat; What effects do long-time adjunct work have on one’s professional identity? | 8/22/2013 16:36:40 |
| IshaiBarnoy | Well, #AdjunctChat folks, it’s been a lovely 10 minutes, but I’ve gotta jet. Sorry to hit and run. Much love to all of you. | 8/22/2013 16:37:05 |
| 4KM | @robinyap Perhaps we should co-author on the impoverished scholar-practitioner scraping up air miles for conferences #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:37:14 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable A3: I wonder if teaching is only one aspect of many FT faculty, too? Must ask @fabianbanga and @raulpacheco #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:39:03 |
| rskiff | #AdjunctChat Adjuncts are an exploited section of higher ed. Low pay..low control and no job security. It is horrible and generates stress. | 8/22/2013 16:39:11 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @4KM A3: Why do you travel to present? What are the academic rewards in place for that? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:39:59 |
| 4KM | Does anyone else feel that tension of both low on totem pole and not wanting anything to do with insular Academy status? #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:40:33 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff or it could be very freeing, with no long-term commitments, department politics, or publishing / tenure pressure #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:41:05 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer Likely re: FT fac. I tend to shy away from putting too tight a definition, description on professional identity. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:41:19 |
| 4KM | @jeffreykeefer There are no check-box rewards. Rewards are in community-building through presentations and publications. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:41:24 |
| robinyap | @JeffreyKeefer Adjunct work as an opportunity to support the next generation of learning professionals that I teach #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:42:04 |
| rskiff | @4KM #AdjunctChat Great question…Why innovate when your never taken seriously and have no agency? | 8/22/2013 16:42:09 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I wonder if Q3: How do you understand your professional identity? could be its own chat topic in the future?!?! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:42:14 |
| SocAcademic | @4KM have to admit, I envision enlarging FT faculty engagement with adjunct issues #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:42:42 |
| JeffreyKeefer | BTW, near the end of our #adjunctchat (or any time before), please feel free to suggest future chat topics and I will add into the poll | 8/22/2013 16:42:43 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @robinyap A3: That makes it sound like adjunct work is almost mission-driven? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:43:24 |
| rskiff | @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Freeing if your independently wealthy…for most it is almost like piecework. | 8/22/2013 16:43:34 |
| SocAcademic | @JeffreyKeefer maybe already happened- adjuncts and tech pedagogy? #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:43:45 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Perhaps we can feed these issues into our Q4? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:44:00 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Q4: What role has being an adjunct had on this identity? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:44:04 |
| SocAcademic | Sad, but true…“@rskiff: @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Freeing if your independently wealthy…for most it is almost like piecework.” | 8/22/2013 16:44:31 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Perhaps it also depends if one wants to subsist through only adjunct work or if FT employment elsewhere is supportive #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:44:54 |
| 4KM | @jeffreykeefer @robinyap Hmmm. Subversive mission work under the umbrella of cheap and flexible labour. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:45:10 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @SocAcademic Can you say more about this? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:45:13 |
| SocAcademic | Wow that fast! Gotta run, thanks for #adjunctchat! Enjoyed it! | 8/22/2013 16:45:30 |
| rskiff | @SocAcademic #AdjunctChat we are going for accreditation starting in Vermont, Ecuador and China. Just like a full university. | 8/22/2013 16:46:10 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @SocAcademic Glad you were able to join us today! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:46:14 |
| 4KM | As a sidebar to Q4 I think the culture of the U affects this hugely. How are adjuncts seen and valued, or not. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:46:36 |
| robinyap | @4KM @JeffreyKeefer Subversive? I wouldn’t go THAT far but I’m sure there are reasons people go adjunct other than monetary #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:46:49 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A4: I have been thinking about @4KM’s notion of academic-trapped-in-practitioner’s body #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:47:28 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A4: In some ways, it is the research that is related to my adjunct teaching that I find most intellectually stimulating #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:48:05 |
| rskiff | @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat clearly you need combination, but for many it is the only way to keep teaching/doing what they love. | 8/22/2013 16:48:17 |
| 4KM | @socacademic Could you explain more? #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:48:32 |
| SocAcademic | @JeffreyKeefer school tends to leave adjuncts out of tech initiatives…more inequality for adjuncts #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:48:34 |
| SocAcademic | RT @4KM: As a sidebar to Q4 I think the culture of the U affects this hugely. How are adjuncts seen and valued, or not. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:48:46 |
| SocAcademic | @JeffreyKeefer again, many thanks! #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:49:10 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @4KM A4: Yes, culture is definitely layered when talking about academic work #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:49:15 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @SocAcademic Thanks again, and when you have a moment please share an example of this sort of tech initiative you have in mind #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:49:57 |
| 4KM | @robinyap @jeffreykeefer I was stretching it but was amused that some Us may be totally unaware of mission-driven elements #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:50:08 |
| robinyap | @4KM @JeffreyKeefer True true..#AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:50:51 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Perhaps this academic identity discussion may point to the future and engagement? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:51:07 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Q5: Where do you hope to develop your professional identity in the future? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:51:12 |
| 4KM | Thanks for hosting Jeffrey; good to have another opportunity to connect and to meet new folks as well. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:51:33 |
| SocAcademic | @4KM some FT faculty work to make departments more inclusive of adjuncts, add more FT lines, etc., more general engagement #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:51:52 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A5: This sort of question is personally very challenging, as it reminds me of the “What do I want to be when I grow up?” issue #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:52:04 |
| robinyap | @JeffreyKeefer Now that’s a juicy discussion topic – engagement of adjuncts #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:52:05 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @4KM Glad you were able to join in! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:52:19 |
| 4KM | A5 I’m wondering about some knowledge brokering of some sort: moving obscure scholarly gems into the mainstream. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:52:50 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I create an #adjunctchat list if anybody wants to follow it or be added to it https://t.co/545pXaY5Uf | 8/22/2013 16:52:59 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I use this list https://t.co/545pXaY5Uf to notify people of the biweekly poll and planning #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:53:21 |
| 4KM | @socacademic Thanks #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:53:30 |
| Melissa_Venable | RT @JeffreyKeefer Q5: Where do you hope to develop your professional identity in the future? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:53:51 |
| robinyap | @JeffreyKeefer A5: Indeed, I have to think about my answer on this some more. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:54:05 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @SocAcademic I cannot imagine more FT faculty at the expense of adjunct any time soon #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:54:13 |
| rskiff | #AdjunctChat GTG thanks for the time. | 8/22/2013 16:54:41 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I think adjunct work will only increase, so the more we can learn about it and support ourselves, the better off we all may be #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:54:44 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @robinyap While our live #adjunctchat ends in a few minutes, you can add a response to Q5 any time! | 8/22/2013 16:55:19 |
| robinyap | @JeffreyKeefer Thanks for the #quickchat. Good opportunity to connect here. #AdjunctChat | 8/22/2013 16:55:24 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @rskiff Thanks for joining in! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:55:31 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable Q5: is a tough one, ehh? #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:56:01 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A5: I find I am teaching more traditionally oriented advanced or research topics that are more common with FT faculty #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:56:32 |
| Melissa_Venable | @JeffreyKeefer These are all tough. 😉 But good to reflect on. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:56:55 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A5: I can only imagine this increasing, especially given the many graduate programs staffed almost entirely by adjuncts #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:57:01 |
| Melissa_Venable | A5) In being open to new opportunities and conversations, there’s no telling what the next professional endeavor will be. #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:58:27 |
| JeffreyKeefer | A5 With heavy grad and postgrad courses increasingly taught by adjuncts, I envision @AdjunctNation & @NewFacMajority growing! #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:59:24 |
| JeffreyKeefer | @Melissa_Venable and there is a lot of exciting opportunities there! A5 #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 16:59:46 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Well, it seems our #adjunctchat today has flown by. Any closing thoughts or next steps? | 8/22/2013 17:00:12 |
| JeffreyKeefer | I think that for me, I want to be more present to how I understand the role of a research agenda in my personal life #adjunctchat | 8/22/2013 17:01:13 |
| JeffreyKeefer | Our next #adjunctchat will be two weeks from today on Thursday, Sept 5, at 4:00pm EDT. Please RT. | 8/22/2013 17:02:10 |
