Gina’s project, submitted to the “Contested and Re-visited Spaces and Sites” roundtable, is entitled The Invisible Rank: The Many Invisible Spaces of Adjunct Faculty.

Every year, colleges and universities across the nation recruit students by highlighting all the best benefits of an education from their schools. Notably absent from these recruitment materials is the meteoric rise in the number of low paid adjunct professors teaching at these schools. This video re-envisions those recruitment materials from the perspective of one of these invisible adjunct professors.
