They share the hardships endemic in the gig economy: lack of job security and health care, professional disrespect, and poverty wages that require them to juggle multiple jobs. This collection draws on a wide range of perspectives to examine the realities of the contingent faculty system through the lens of labor history. Essayists investigate structural changes that have caused the use of contingent faculty to skyrocket and illuminate how precarity shapes day-to-day experiences in the academic workplace. Other essays delve into the ways contingent faculty engage in collective action and other means to resist austerity measures, improve their working conditions, and instigate reforms in higher education. By challenging contingency, this volume issues a clear call to reclaim higher education's public purpose. Interdisciplinary in approach and multifaceted in perspective, Contingent Faculty and the Remaking of Higher Education surveys the adjunct system and its costs"--cProvided by publisher. 0aCollege teachersxSalaries, etc.zUnited States. 4aProfesores universitarios xSalarios zEstados Unidos 0aCollege teachers, Part-timexSalaries, etc.zUnited States. 4aProfesores universitarios a tiempo parcial xSalarios zEstados Unidos  0aCollege personnel managementzUnited States. 4aAdministración de personal docente zEstados Unidos  0aCollege teachers' unionszUnited States. 0aCollective bargainingxCollege teacherszUnited States. 4aNegociación colectiva xProfesores universitarios zEstados Unidos 1 aFure-Slocum, Eric Jon eeditor 1 aGoldstene, Claire eeditor 08iOnline version:tContingent faculty and the remaking of higher educationdUrbana : University of Illinois Press, 2024z9780252055201w(DLC) 2023022311 0aWorking class in American history
