Adjunct Riot
Adjunct Riot
Risograph
2018

It is estimated that some 75 percent of university faculty are adjuncts. We are not on the tenure track, we are paid a fraction of what full time faculty are paid while having the same credentials and teaching the same classes. Higher education is based on exploitative and extractive labor practices. A once venerated profession is now part of the gig economy.

I invited adjuncts to submit artwork and to tell their stories, which I compiled in Adjunct Riot. Some names were changed at the request of participants.

Adjunct Riot was printed on a risograph at Drum Machine Editions. Both printings are sold out.

Adjunct Riot is included in University of North Carolina Greensboro, Martha Blakeney Hodges Special Collections and University Archive, University of Georgia, Lamar Dodd School of Art, Art Library, The Shop at Minnesota Center for Book Arts, Emily Carr University of Art and Design + Wendy’s Subway Publishing the Present, and numerous private collections.
