September 20, 2019 – 2:30-4:00 pm – Student Union Room #304
UConn-AAUP Committee W welcomes National AAUP East Coast Organizer David Kociemba
who will present “Contingency and Gender: How Adjunct Hiring Disproportionately Effects Women and POC.
What adjuncts, tenured faculty, and the union can do.”
Contingent academic employment is a gender issue. Adjunct hiring disproportionately effects women and people of color, who make up 2/3 of contingent faculty nationally. How can contingent faculty organize? What can the UConn-AAUP do to support them now and in upcoming contract negotiations? And how contingency threatens tenure and academic freedom and what FT faculty can do.
