Chapter 29: Suggestion for Writing 2: Miya Tokumitsu, “In the Name of Love”

Read In the Name of Love by Miya Tokumitsu and answer the following question. Then “submit” your work.

Question 1

In paragraph 21, Tokumitsu focuses on the plight of adjuncts in academia “who usually receive low pay, no benefits, no office, no job security, and no long-term stake in the schools where they work.” She claims that colleges exploit adjuncts’ devotion to teaching by keeping their salaries so low. Interview two adjuncts at your college. Ask them why they got into the profession, how much they enjoy it, and whether or not they can afford to live on an adjunct’s salary.
