If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

These are communications degrees. This is literally what communications is for.

Can't have fine arts, but we can have hyper-specific degrees in influencing. Because a liberal arts education is only for the wealthiest scions, everyone else goes into debt for glorified job training.

"Gender Ideology" is do-I-get-to-exist. "Just asking questions" - yes, the question is, do-I-get-to-exist. "Shoving it down our throats" - Existing. "Debate" - yes, over whether I get to exist. "I was shut down by the far left" - when you said people don't/shouldn't exist.
