IN SEARCH OF PROFESSOR PRECARIOUS is a 55 minute documentary feature in which the director, a long-time precarious contract university instructor, travels Canada to lift the curtain on higher education's dirty little secret.  The search plunges viewers into the challenging lives of precarious contract faculty and their compelling stories. We also meet permanent faculty, students, an administrator, activists and experts. We engage with artists in action, get a glimpse of an outdoor biology class on the Nova Scotia shore, struggle alongside a group of Alberta sessional lecturers trying to help make their faculty association more democratic, experience the biggest higher education strike in Canadian history unfolding and meet international experts and activists.

The film has garnered rave reviews and has now played on 75 campuses across North America, screened at 11 international film festivals, garnered 5 awards, was the keynote event at the international COCAL 14 Conference in Mexico, and has generated much discussion.
