As promised last week, I’ve got a new thread 🧵 for you: sessionals, the academy, and job action. Strap in, cause I’ve got a LOT of feelings about this one. #ulfastrike #PSE #worthfightingfor /1
Let’s begin with a primer: what is a sessional? Well, me, I’m a sessional right now at ULeth. I was hired for a single term to replace someone who had to take sick leave, which is one of the reasons why I’m participating in this strike from NB. /2
But at the moment, I’m not really representative of sessionals at ULeth or in Canada. Sessionals are academics with the same credentials as full-time tenured faculty (PhD, publications, etc) who have been hired for a short-term contract to teach a course at a PSE institution. /3
