The AP is also helping to organize the 2014 COCAL conference and looking for folks interested in helping to plan and organize:
Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor – COCAL
COCAL is a network of North American activists working to improve higher education through the collective achievement of job reliability, livable wages, academic freedom, and time and resources for academic research and professional development for contingent academic laborers. COCAL is not affiliated with any single labor union and promotes grassroots contingent faculty organizing both within and across unions, and through campus or department specific organizing. COCAL’s major international meeting is its biennial international conference wherein participants from across the United States, Canada, and Mexico come together to share ideas, tactics, strategies, about ongoing contingent academic labor struggles.
The 2014 COCAL conference be co-sponsored and co-hosted by the Adjunct Project and will take place at the CUNY Graduate Center. The Adjunct Project would like to invite members of the CUNY community to help envision what COCAL 2014 might look like: what contingent academic labor issues at CUNY could potential shape our own event. If you are interested in getting involved in this project contact Zoltán Glück, Adjunct Project, Coordinator for Organization and Planning: zgluck@gc.cuny.edu
