DESCRIPTION:Fighting The Just In Time Professor Concept: A Lesson From The SF Bay Area 
 Metro Organizing Strategy\nThe dirty  secret about higher education is that 
 about two thirds of the faculty are part-time or full-time temporary 
 adjunct professors hired by the class or semester. In the past few years, 
 adjuncts have been organizing, striking and unionizing in record numbers. 
 Many of them are using a new strategy known as the Metro Organizing 
 Strategy, which organizes across a geographic region rather than campus by 
 campus, where non faculty is included. Join a critical discussion about 
 these organizing campaigns.\nRobert Ovetz, Ph.D. is a migrant mindworker of 
 academia who teaches at three Bay Area colleges and universities. He writes 
 about the changing division of academic labor and strategies for 
 resistance.\nJessica Beard is a lecturer in English and Critical Theory at 
 San Francisco State University and the San Francisco Art Institute. She 
 teaches in the METRO program at SFSU--a joint effort by CCSF and SFSU for 
 first generation college students of color in the Bay Area.\nJessica 
 Lawless was an adjunct professor in the arts and humanities for 9 years. 
 Organizer with SEIU local 1021’s Adjunct Action campaign.\nGifford 
 Hartman has worked in adult education for over two decades, mostly in 
 literacy and English as a Second Language (ESL). He also participates in 
 Labor History events, writing and talking about the history of class 
 struggle. In 2008, he was part of a 4-day strike at a non-profit ESL school 
 in San Francisco.\n For more info: rfovetz@riseup.net\nSee also:
