Full and part-time faculty share the distinct experience of adjunct faculty in the fifth semester in which higher ed is impacted by the pandemic.

This semester just seems different, especially for our adjunct colleagues. A sequel episode about this latest COVID wave — full and part-time lecturers share their experiences, expertise, and a few aspirations toward labor equity. With SDSU faculty members Ken Arnold, Tishna Asim, and Katie Turner. Hosted by Dr. D.J. Hopkins.

Note for listeners: On our campus, “lecturer” is the term used for full- or part-time adjunct instructors. When our guests say “lecturer,” they’re referring to adjunct faculty.
