    • 2014 March 14, Jacqueline Taylor, “Life without tenure: how I've found fulfilment in US academia”, in The Guardian‎:
      According to the National Centre for Education Statistics' most recent numbers (2012), 50% of instructors at degree-granting institutions in the US are part-time. Through teaching as an adjunct instructor while still a graduate student, I've had the luxury of developing my career: testing out teaching strategies, exploring innovative courses, and developing relationships with students – all while working on my dissertation.
