Current Work
Well documented trends in higher education show an increase in non-tenure line faculty across the nation. Against that backdrop this research brings to the surface the particular ways in which non-tenure line faculty are deployed and employed. What emerges is the framing of non-tenured work that relies on a specifically gendered and racialized reading of productive/ reproductive labor. Dr. Russel y Rodriguez's work excavates the ideologies, assumptions, and languages that academe uses that unwittingly draws upon gendered and racialized assumptions of power and pay.
