Groups and Advocacy
Growing Concerns with the increase of Contingent Faculty Positions
SBL continues to work actively with the Coalition on the Academic Workforce (CAW)  Given the fact that most of the academic workforce is employed in full and part-time contingent positions, all faculty need to pay close attention to what is happening in their own institutions. The recent American Association of University Professors newsletter addresses this matter. See also the "Research and Reports" tab on the Coalition's website for in-depth articles on the history, problems, and details surrounding this important segment of our field.
 
The Society maintains two committees and one group to provide support for certain sections of professionals: The SBL Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Minorities in the Profession Committee, The SBL Status of Women in the Profession Committee and the Student Advisory Group.
