Over My Dead Body

A podcast about college &amp; coronavirus.

We are term-limited contingent faculty teaching the humanities in U.S. higher ed. Our schools have experienced massive disruption, shifts, and changes due to the spread of coronavirus. On this show, we investigate the sources and consequences of the policies that led us here and discuss what it's like to navigate higher ed during a pandemic as members of the precariat.

The views expressed on this show those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any other agency, organization, employer or company.
