Good Adjuncts,
This is a recent message I got from my friend and colleague Larissa Dorman, who also happens to be a kick-ass organizer for AFT in the UC System:
Dear Geoff,
I hear you were recently elected to the AFT Adjunct/Contingent Faculty Caucus:) Was hoping you might be willing to help me circulate a call for submission on a book I am working on with a colleague from UCSD. It is a tight one month window for the first round of submissions and we are hoping to reach faculty nationwide.
Here is the info and detailed call for submission:
https://laborofloveadjunct.wordpress.com/home/call-for-submissions/
Basic Info:
Labor of Love: Adjunct Stories in Higher Education
Deadline: Thursday, September 1st, 2016 by 6pm PST
Submit to: laborofloveadjunct@gmail.com
We are seeking adjuncts’ stories for an edited book for a general audience on what it means to be an adjunct instructor at an American college or university. We are looking for stories that show who adjuncts are, how they became adjuncts, the effects that their working conditions have on their work, and their ideas for fixing the broken university system.
Let me know what you think and if you can help in any way to get the word out. I know Mahler is going to send to the SDCCD and GCCCD adjunct lists.
Take care,
Larissa
Let’s help Larissa out Good Adjuncts.

Thanks, Vanessa. I corrected the link. Geoff has been busy.

I was thinking just that recently — how busy he must be with working for legislation, Caucus and semester/new school year starting.

I just sent Larissa an email about it. I’ll fix it when she replies.
