Talking Precarity

by Vannina Sztainbok and Zoe Newman

In this podcast, we aim to disrupt the exploitation, the silence, and the shame around adjunct labour—and to hold space for the pain and the struggle with care and humour. Through conversations with academic workers, researchers in the field, and others, this podcast is a place to critique neoliberalism and build solidarity through an anti-colonial, anti-racist, feminist lens.
