Summary:

As the debate regarding the increasing use of adjunct faculty in higher education continues to swirl, the voices of adjunct faculty themselves are rarely heard. Adjunct Faculty Voices gives a voice to this growing population. This book shares the experiences and clear benefits adjuncts gain from having access to professional development opportunities. The editors of this volume argue that continuing to underserve the professional development needs of the largest segment of the higher education workforce will have detrimental consequences for institutions that are facing increasing scrutiny in regard to student academic success. Adjunct Faculty Voices is a must-read for professional developers and administrators interested in meeting the current development needs of adjuncts, cultivating community among faculty, and leveraging adjunct resources to benefit their institution.
