Sponsored by the Committee on Part-time, Adjunct and Contingent Faculty (CPACE)

Facilitators: Amy Essington California State University, Fullerton; Elizabeth Hohl, Fairfield University (Co-Chairs of CPACE); Howard Smead, University of Maryland, College Park

Join us for a different kind of conversationmabout non-tenure track historians.

We know the challenges we face: job insecurity, inequitable working conditions, disrespect and lack of visibility.

Let’s work together to reshape the narrative about us, take steps to effect change in the workplace, and consider the possibilities, including a caucus within the OAH.
