      Description

      Join us at the Graduate Center on November 18 from 1-2 PM in the Skylight Room (room 9100) for On and Off the Tenure Track: Career Paths and Hiring Practices. This will be an open, livestreamed discussion.

      This is the fourth of eight conversations as part of The University Worth Fighting For, a year-long project designed to tie student-centered, engaged practices in our classrooms to larger issues of institutional change, equality, race, gender, and all forms of social justice.

      The discussion on career paths and hiring practices will range from practical suggestions to higher-order questions, including thorny issues related to the casualization of academic labor, the size of PhD programs, and ways that expanding our expectations of career outcomes might affect the structure of graduate programs (as well as who has access to those programs and who sees them as worth the investment).

      Discussion leaders:

      • Jade E. Davis, Associate Director, Digital Learning Projects, LaGuardia Community College
      • Yaihara Fortis Santiago, Manager of Science Alliance, New York Academy of Sciences
      • Alex Gil, Digital Scholarship Coordinator, Columbia University Libraries
      • Katina Rogers, Deputy Director, The Futures Initiative

      Online Discussion Group

      To help build momentum and to provide a place to discuss related theory and research in greater depth, we also invite you to join this student-led reading group that will open on HASTAC. The discussion group will remain open for three weeks following the workshop.

      Hello everyone! Just a reminder about the Futures Initiative’s event tomorrow. We hope you will all join us from 1-2pm at the Graduate Center for On and Off the Tenure Track: a discussion about career paths, adjunctification, invisible labor, and more. In addition to the panelists mentioned above, we will be joined by Jennifer Furlong, Director of the Office of Career Planning and Professional Development at the Graduate Center.

      The event will also be livestreamed at bit.ly/fight4edu-careers-live.

      See you there!

      Best,
      Katina
