Majority Rules, the reborn blog of the New Faculty Majority, has a call for contributors:
We’re looking for contributions from contingent faculty and allies across the country and anywhere else contingency is a problem for faculty, covering a large number of issues and topics that will help us make and enforce those new rules. This is not a forum for complaints but a place to bear witness, expose exploitation, exchange tactics for change, and plot solutions. We want:
- Essays on current higher education issues as they relate to contingent faculty
- Essays on the relationship between K-12 education issues and educators and higher education
- Essays on the growing alliances between contingent faculty and activists in the student debt and low-wage worker movements
- Analysis of current reports, trends, and data in higher education that relate to contingent faculty
- Responses to articles on adjunct issues published elsewhere in the media
- External cause-related news/events (with commentary)
- Activism tips/opportunities/actions/resources
- Organizational news and announcements
- Research and funding opportunities
- Calls for Papers
- Teaching and survival tips
- Profiles
- Book reviews
- Videos
- Interview Q&As
- Photo essays
- Personal stories about adjunct faculty experiences, especially how teaching as an adjunct affects your ability to be the best teacher and scholar you can be
Please see the “Submit a Post“ page for more detail.
On that same note, we here at the Academe blog also welcome new contributors, either on a one-time basis or more regularly. Please contact me at abarlow@aaup.org if you are interested and are involved in higher education.
