I don’t know how many people remember the Bill Clinton video that was aired at the Democratic National Convention where he accepted his nomination. Should I ever vie for the White House, I’ll probably use “The Man from the Shimmies /b>.” Oh, sure, it isn’t nearly as poetic as the “Man from HOPE,” but the picture is pretty powerful.
This is where I lived for three years after starting my Ph.D. program at UNL.
The picture has that “Grapes of Wrath” feel to it. The funny thing is that there was a term that was often used to describe the adjunct faculty that would travel from one teaching appointment to the next. We called it “Migrant Intellectual Labor.” Seems appropriate.
