Voices of Contingent Faculty 2010.mov

Contingent Faculty in a Tenure-Track World is a 2008-2010 study, funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan's Center for the Education of Women. The project focuses on the perceptions of non-tenure eligible faculty at twelve research universities related to various aspects of their working conditions and career satisfaction.

In addition to disseminating our findings through print and on-line journals and conference presentations, we have also created this approximately five-minute video. It summarizes what we found to be four primary factors that lead to job satisfaction or dissatisfaction for non-tenure track faculty: teaching/working with students, freedom and flexibility, job security, and respect and inclusion.
