Summary: Over the past decade, the particular focus of attention has been
the increasingly precarious position of young scholars at the beginning of
their careers, who now commonly go through many years of temporary
positions at one university after another, moving around the country for
six months here, nine months there, or on very part-time contracts (I’ve
recently seen an advertisement for a seventeen-week teaching post on
one-fifth of full-time hours, and pay)
