@jodiacampbell Yes, it is something that costs me dearly every year though I could not remain current without hearing colleages #adjunctchat
Director of Training & Knowledge Management + Educational Researcher + Professor + Poet + Wikipedian = Liminality + Actor-Network Theory + Open Education
@JeffreyKeefer Exactly. I make next to nothing as an adjunct & having to pay ALL my research & travel costs is a big burden. #adjunctchat
@jodiacampbell @JeffreyKeefer Students have cut rates & grants for conf. I wonder if we could advocate discounts for PT fac #adjunctchat
@jodiacampbell @JeffreyKeefer Perhaps we need to interact more w/ aca professional orgs to help PT fac #adjunctchat
@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Possibly, depending on the conf, but there are also tons of FT fac who get little to no conf $ too. #adjunctchat
@jodiacampbell @JeffreyKeefer I suggest that adj request conf if they have PT rate. Perhaps if they get enuf requests… #adjunctchat
@jodiacampbell @JeffreyKeefer But they get a living wage. To ask to decide between food & conf…#adjunctchat
@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Oh, I agree! But some schools, esp. small ones or CCs, have v. low pay even for FT faculty. #adjunctchat
