In this half-hour podcast episode, Hartmann-Villalta shares her experiences as a part-time adjunct instructor at Georgetown University, discussing the precarity and fraught conditions of adjunct labor more broadly, and connecting these to her work serving on MLA’s Committee on Contingent Labor in the Profession.
She also explains how her research on the Spanish Civil War finds its way into the first-year writing classroom — exercises she’s excited to be exploring at Johns Hopkins — and how she’s incorporated mindfulness via the Ignatian Examen into her pedagogy.
