A gig economy is a system where employers hire independent and qualified workers for short-term contracts. While this might seem like a system worlds away from higher education, this is very much a common system embraced by colleges and universities. Being an adjunct faculty member has resulted in many highly educated people becoming part of the gig economy. Becoming and Supporting Online Adjunct Faculty in a Gig Economy provides information on the many challenges and potential solutions that can be leveraged as an online adjunct faculty member. Covering topics such as collaboration with full-time colleagues, curating resources for online courses, and maintaining working relationships, this book is ideal for adjunct faculty, administrators, students, researchers, and academicians.
