The Zip Code Memory Project (ZCMP) seeks to find reparative ways to memorialize the devastating losses resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic while also acknowledging its radically differential effects on Upper New York City neighborhoods. Working across the zip codes of Harlem, Washington Heights and the South Bronx, ZCMP is gathering with local community, arts and academic organizations to imagine how the losses of the pandemic can be acknowledged, mourned, and healed, and how the mutual aid, care and repair they have occasioned can be honored.

Throughout this coming year, community members from these neighborhoods will participate in a series of art-based workshops and events envisioned to transform and enliven our neighborhoods and to repair a sense of trust that will help ZCMP build networks of shared responsibility and belonging.

For those of you interested in adjunct teaching positions, Carla Stockton sent me the following. If interested, please reach out to her at: [email protected].

I'm writing to you at the behest of my boss at Lehman College College Now, where there is a need for qualified, talented instructors to teach the College Comp classes.

If you know graduates who are seeking to break into the scintillating world of adjuncting, this is a great opportunity, particularly for beginners, and I would be happy to explain the benefits to anyone who might be interested. . . . If you would be so kind as to share my email address with them.

The big thing for anyone seeking employment of this kind is that once you're in this program, you are far more stable than in any other sector of the academic world. Sections do not get cut at the same pace, and, in fact, classes are constantly being added.

At Lehman, too, once the English Department has vetted the instructor, so long as the College Now program releases that instructor to do so (meaning that College Now has no need to keep the instructor for a second assignment), the instructor will have a leg up on getting a job in the undergraduate program. I can explain all that to anyone with an interest.

Personally, I have never had a teaching assignment I find more satisfying. I teach smart, "woke" people, who are grateful and enthusiastic. I work with committed administrators who truly care about making sure these kids from the Bronx -- a community rife with disadvantaged schools and environments -- have a boost out there in the world. I have both autonomy in the classroom and support from my administration top to bottom. It's a job I highly recommend to anyone who really wants to teach.

Thanks for sharing this around.

Best,
c
