Abstract: Moving from the ranks of afifth-year adjunct instructor to afull-time position for me was equivalent to stepping from the shadows to center stage, from invisible understudy to recognized performer In reality, my role didn't change; it merely expanded. But perceptions changed. From my students' angle as audience, I had always been a key performer Butfrom the vantage point of thefull-time cast, I was unusually invisible, swallowed by darkness. Suddenly with afull-time position, the shadows vanished. Even though I hadn't done anything differently, special effects lighting illuminated my place on stage. (Bethke, 1993)

Bread and roses, and quality too: A new faculty majority negotiating the new academy
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of 252 collective bargaining agreements examined language negotiated in "class cancellation fee" provisions addressing "just-in-time" employment of adjunct faculty, focusing on the balance between managerial discretion and professional rights and whether and how contract language addressed remuneration (bread) and respect (roses) as well as quality, which are at the heart of the contingent faculty labor movement's mantra about faculty's working conditions being students' learning conditions.
