Join Higher Ed Labor United’s Contingency Task Force on Saturday, Oct 25, from 2:30-5:30 ET / 1:30 – 4:30 CT / 12:30 – 3:30 MT / 11:30 – 2:30 PT for a “coast-to-coast and wall-to-wall” watch party: a free-viewing and live discussion of the newly released feature film ADJUNCT. We will be joined by filmmaker (and former adjunct) Ron Najor for a live discussion about this remarkable movie and the pressing issues it raises.
ADJUNCT offers a poignant, realistic, and rare portrait of life as a contingent faculty member in the US academy. Watch the trailer here.
This is a film that needs a wide audience, not only among adjunct faculty themselves – who are sure to connect with it – but also among students, tenure-track colleagues, and other co-workers and community members. HELU’s Contingency Task Force will be on hand to facilitate a post-screening conversation about what is to be done to confront and overcome the inequities, injustices, and systemic absurdities the film so vividly portrays.
Come be a part of a historic event, and bring your friends!
The event will also educate attendees about how to organize local viewings of the film on your own campus, in your union, or community organization.
