ATHE/ASTR Adjunct Labor Survey 2

ATHE's Adjunct Task Force is working to create advocacy tools that support contingent, adjunct, part-time, and other non-tenure-track faculty teaching positions in theater and performance studies programs across the United States. As a first step in this process, we are collecting basic information from adjunct and contingent faculty about the work they are doing to support theatre and performance in higher education
