Contingent but Significant: Co-Creating a Research Agenda by, for, and About Non–Tenure Track Instructors

Session Type: Pre-Conference Mentoring Session

Abstract

Over 2/3rds of academic appointments are contingent faculty, a group about which relatively little is known and whose voice is often excluded from academic conversations. In this session we will, working together, identify strategies for advancing research and practice related to the role, value, evaluation, and development of contingent faculty.
