Abstract/Description

Abstract	Abstract Conference paper presented at the <a href="https://accute.ca/accute-conference/">ACCUTE (Association of Canadian College and University Teachers of English)</a>conference, Calgary 2016. Last year at Congress, I presented a paper titled “Off the Sides of Our Desks: Research in a Community College Context” on a Professional Issues panel here at ACCUTE. I’m heartened to be asked back to this panel to discuss these issues further as part of a larger conversation about teaching-centred work in the academy, and I’m grateful to the organizers for the opportunity. I think we are at a crossroads in the profession wherein we can either find a way to support teaching-focused academics in remaining part of the scholarly conversation, or risk losing recent PhD graduates from our community. This short paper is a bit of a meditation on why that is, and what comes next.
