Most of us working as educators in higher education realize the key role that adjunct instructors fulfill within the academy. Educators in adjunct positions often teach the lion's share of courses at colleges and universities but do not necessarily reap the rewards such as benefits or job stability that their tenure-track and full-time colleagues do.
With that in mind, Judith and Erin discuss whether or not there are any positive aspects to working in an adjunct capacity, especially for working parents. The conversation is contextualized by informal data gleaned from the podcast audience and current coverage in the media.
