             *********** National Congress **********

	Interested in creating better working conditions for Graduate
Teaching Assistants, part-time faculty, adjuncts, and non-tenure-track
full-time faculty? 

	In Washington DC, December 27-28, concurrent with the Modern
Language Association (MLA) Convention, there will be a National Congress
of Part Time, Adjunct, GTA, and Non-Tenure Track faculty.  We will be
meeting to share information and ideas about solutions to the ongoing
crisis in the working conditions of marginalized faculty.  The National
Congress will include workshops on specific issues of interest to graduate
students, part-timers, and full-time faculty who are committed to justice
in higher education, as well as plenary discussions on such issues as
unionization of marginal faculty, how to make the AAUP more responsive to
part-timer/GTA concerns, and ways to make the MLA and other professional
academic organizations more engaged in issues of justice in employment.

	The National Congress is free and open to anyone genuinely
interested in the employment conditions of part-time faculty, GTAs,
non-tenure track faculty, and adjuncts. 

	More information, and a chance to get involved in planning the
National Congress, is available by joining the NATLCONG listserv.  Send a
subscription message ("Subscribe NATLCONG yourname") to: 
	listserv-AT-gwuvm.gwu.edu.  

	Other requests for information can be directed to:
	whitejj-AT-gwis2.circ.gwu.edu.
	mcg-AT-gwis2.circ.gwu.edu 

	We hope many of you, especially those already planning on
attending the MLA this December, will participate in what looks to be a
very important event in the development of a national strategy for justice
in college/university teaching.
