FORUM: Issues about Part-Time and Contingent Faculty

The new Forum editor, Kimberly Bain, has begun reading submissions, and the journal will resume publication in fall 2025. Submissions can be sent directly to the editor at [email protected].

Kimberly Bain, an assistant professor of English at Palm Beach Atlantic University, served as chair of the Task Force to Revise the CCCC Statement of Professional Guidance for New Faculty Members. She has also served as an editorial intern for the Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction with the University of North Texas Press. Her research focuses on multimodal pedagogies of composition as well as access and linguistic considerations in writing center work. Her work has been published in Composition Studies and Praxis: A Writing Center Journal. Her editorial vision for Forum centers on considerations for part-time and contingent faculty that are otherwise overlooked in higher education. In particular, the impact on part-time and contingent faculty must be addressed in issues including new technology integration, record-low enrollment rates, reduced job vacancies, and increasing institutional closures in higher education. Moreover, part-time and contingent faculty are often at the heart of writing instruction in higher learning, and identifying the issues they face can shed light on the evolution of postsecondary education in modern contexts.
