CUNY Adjunct Incubator

Overview

The CUNY Adjunct Incubator supports and highlights the significant, critical and community-engaged scholarship and pedagogy work of adjuncts teaching across CUNY. Co-sponsored by the Public Scholarship Practice Space (PS2) housed at the Center for the Humanities and the Gittell Urban Studies Collective.

The 4 branches of the Adjunct Incubator are:

  • Call public attention to adjuncts’ valuable contributions at CUNY
  • Support CUNY adjuncts and their teaching, scholarly, creative, and activist work
  • Promote their arc toward professional success and economic well-being
  • Advocate for more paid, full-time, tenure-track positions for adjuncts to advance toward
