  • Summary

    Canadian higher education institutions have seen significant structural and operational changes on their campuses over the last 50 years. As a result of these changes, precarious academic work has increased significantly and more and more courses are being taught by precarious faculty who lack job stability and are often paid a fraction of the salary that their tenure and tenure-track colleagues make teaching the same courses. The pandemic has illuminated the working conditions and prevalence of precarious faculty in the Canadian higher education system. This, in turn, is illuminating the ways in which precarious faculty work (or don’t work) within the academic system.
