Abstract or Description

According to estimates by the AAUP and the Coalition on the Academic Workforce, 75 percent of current college and university faculty are not on the tenure track. What does this mean for the profession? What should grad students and new PhDs expect, look for, and consider in their job applications? This panel consists of both contingent faculty and those who advise and hire them, including adjuncts and lecturers. We will discuss the choices involved and examine one of the most significant and broad changes in academia in the last ten years.
