Teaching

Last discussion session of the term tonight -- next week, the last week of this summer intensive, is given over to an office hour marathon, followed by an online Symposium in which they will present their final projects. I've appreciated the mild distraction from Nazis and plaguetime afforded by teaching, but I will not deny the demands of an intensive taught remotely have made the last weeks rather fraught. Having an income through all this so far has been appealing, to say the least. Confronting the existential oblivion of unemployment upon the conclusion of the course is really weighing on me, as I know millions of others are also suffering the same. SFAI has turned a corner, it would seem, thank the billion billion goddesses, but there seems little prospect for adjuncts like me. Let's see what happens.
