Examples

“On my first day of adjuncting at a community college, I had students explain⟳ to me that they were majoring in gunsmithing and firefighting. It was a culture shock⟳, to say⟳ the least.”

“There is a complicated culture of silence that surrounds adjuncting. Schools have⟳ no incentive to draw⟳ attention to how many adjuncts most institutions now rely⟳ on, and as for the adjuncts themselves, addressing the subject raises awkward questions, and might even put⟳ their jobs at risk⟳: in her essay "The Teaching Class," Rachel Riederer recounts how merely explaining how adjuncting worked to a group of students outside of class threw one adjunct's job into jeopardy.”
