Part-time and Limited-term Faculty in Alberta's Colleges

Bob Barnetson

Abstract

This paper argues that the number of part-time and limited-term faculty in Alberta's (Canada) public colleges and technical institutes and their substantially different employment conditions indicate the existence of a dual labour market at five institutions. Further analysis demonstrates that women disproportionately receive part-time and limited-term appointments.
