Abstract
Eileen E. Schell offers an overview of the changing conditions of employment for faculty working off the tenure track and discusses teaching and scholarly work viewed against the backdrop of larger social and economic shifts occurring in US higher education. This introduction considers how works such as the present volume—focused on opportunities for contingent f acuity members to publish—can help make the work of contingent teachers and scholars more visible in ways that lead to transparency of working conditions within higher education.
