Injustices big and small happen daily, and it’s tempting to sit back and not engage. In my case, the actions of my colleagues inspired me to go out of my comfort zone to help plan an event promoting awareness of the plight of contingent labor on college campuses.
Most students have no idea that some of their instructors earn surprisingly low wages and may lack job security and medical benefits. Exposing students to the negative consequences of inequitable employment practices within higher education is a step toward change, a step toward justice.
