Teaching Resources for Lecturer and Adjunct Faculty StrikeA strike by Lecturers and Adjunct Faculty offers a teachable moment for students. Regardless of discipline, it provides opportunities for student engagement in a real world experience in which basic questions of representation, power, and social change are playing out on our campus.Below are online resources (short articles, audio and video pieces) that faculty members can use with students to introduce some of the issues related to adjunct faculty, changes in higher education, as well as background on the labor movement. We encourage you to share them with students in the days leading up to the strike and integrate into your course..Strike votes/walkouts
