I didn’t know this. My English Dept. refused to support my travel which is why I didn’t attend last year’s conference. Where and how do we apply for the funds?

Hi Pamela, Here’s the link:

HEP Part-Time and Contingent Faculty Issues on MLA Commons 12 years, 9 months agoIs anyone interested in talking to a radio producer from NPR (marketplace show) on PT faculty issues? They are interested in “savings and spending” patterns and “whether the reliance on PTF is “sustainable”. They are particularly interested in California adjuncts, but if anyone is interested I would forward your name. Thanks!
-
Margaret, I am a California Adjunct (San Diego) and would be delighted to speak with NPR/Marketplace. pjacoby@sdccd.edu
-
When will they be airing the story?
-
Not sure about that, Louisa. I will let you know!
-
Thank you! Since you posted, I have heard a few segments about adjuncts from various NPR shows. Also, there’s a big meeting planned this weekend for adjuncts trying to organize in the Boston area. It makes me hopeful that change for the better could be coming.

OK Good to know — this must mean that the request actually IS in response to the story that aired yesterday. Feel free to give them my contact info if they want to talk to someone outside of California and in a state where PTF face significant obstacles to unionizing.

HI Peter. Thanks for writing. I will forward your contact info to the producer!

Thanks.

I would be willing to be contacted by NPR, but am in Arizona.

Thank you so much Gloria. I will forward your contact details. You might want to message me an EDU address (peter, you too!)
