Now it is a permanent and indispensable feature of such institutions, not just in the U.S. but worldwide. This book takes stock of this new development, concentrating primarily on the situation in the humanities. It looks at its impact on the lives of the highly-educated scholars and teachers from many parts of the world; scholars waking up to the sobering fact that higher education presents them with a two-tiered labour market in which they themselves are permanently barred from moving up to the higher tier. To them, being an adjunct teacher means experiencing frustration and humiliation. All essays in this book offer personal accounts of adjuncts? experiences together with critical reflections on institutional conditions and suggestions for their improvement. In turn defiant, poignant, analytical, exasperated, and sardonic, these essays are always incisive and revealing. Their inside view?a view from below?shows higher education as a world different from how it appears to tenured professors and university administrators, different from that presented in most college brochures. For all those who care about the current state and the future of higher education?no matter if they are teachers, scholars, students, parents, or administrators?this book will offer valuable insights into the working world of academic teaching. 410 0$aAt the interface/probing the boundaries ;$vv. 40. 606 $aCollege teachers, Part-time$zUnited States 606 $aCollege teachers, Part-time 615 0$aCollege teachers, Part-time 615 0$aCollege teachers, Part-time. 676 $a378.1/2 701 $aHantke$b Steffen$f1962-$01537102 701 $aTeeuwen$b Rudolphus$01565136 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778354903321 996 $aGypsy scholars, migrant teachers and the global academic proletariat$93834533 997 $aUNINA
