I am a long-time member of H-Net and new H-Adjunct member. I am in the adjunct pool at a local private liberal arts college, a media teaching artist (as an independent contractor) in K-12 schools, and an independent scholar. I am also currently receiving medical disability, and I am looking for resources/community for contingent workers on disability.
In general, contingent work is not well understood or supported (as adjunct instructors already know), and I'm struggling to find information to navigate this confusing and doubly-precarious health and financial terrain. I'm actually grateful
From The Chronicle:
Last week, Paul Crenshaw got a phone call that faculty everywhere have nightmares about.
“‘Where were you?’” asked the voice on the other end. It was an official from a college in Kansas. Crenshaw never showed up to teach his first class of the term, and the college, not unreasonably, wanted to know why.
But Crenshaw had no idea he was supposed to be teaching a class. And apparently, it wasn’t the only one he was supposed to lead.
