Professors in the gig economy: Unionizing adjunct
faculty in America
The challenges facing adjunct faculty in
today’s gig economy suggest trouble for the future of higher education. The substandard compensation of adjunct faculty is well-publicized and a

Role strain: a duo-ethnography of
fathers in online doctoral
education in the United States
Within the USA, current trends in higher education show more women than men
achieving graduate degrees. Among the potential reasons for this disparity is that fathers are reporting challenges in balancing their additional responsibilities while increasing their housework and childcare investment. Many fathers are turning to online graduate education to more effectively balance home and school responsibilities. However, limited portrayals of fathers’ experiences in
online education exist.

Faculty Expectations and Experiences through the

advancement?
