{"product_id":"hidden-academics-indhu-rajagopal-9780802080981","title":"Hidden Academics: Contract Faculty in Canadian Universities","description":"\u003cp\u003eOver the past two decades, increasing government cuts have forced universities to become dependent on full- and part-time contract faculty. This fixed dependence has reinforced the functional split in the academic labour force, a split that has taken the form not only of differences in status, compensation, career opportunities, and professional development, but also of feminization and occupational segregation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHidden Academics\u003c\/i\u003e, Indhu Rajagopal examines the multiple ways contract faculty have emerged as an underclass in academia. The identity of the part-time faculty, the nature of their work, and their feelings about status in the university are explained. Central to these discussions are the feminization of part-timers, the relationship between the full-time faculty and their perceptions of part-timers, academic administrators' reasons for hiring part-timers, and the future of the university in this context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Indhu Rajagopal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802080987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802080981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.99d","brand":"Indhu Rajagopal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447558877439,"sku":"9780802080981","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c9ce5da4-41ad-4fcf-8605-1cbfb88f1278.jpg?v=1777233496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hidden-academics-indhu-rajagopal-9780802080981","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
