About this episode

Dr. Joshua Hays discusses the factors contributing to adjunct faculty burnout and reframes disengagement as a systemic issue.

Why are adjunct faculty burning out at staggering rates? In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Joshua Hays examines how structural precarity, market-driven institutional logics, and unsupportive organizational climates shape engagement, burnout, and disengagement among adjunct faculty. Drawing on established psychological research, he reframes disengagement not as individual failure, but as a predictable outcome of system design.
