Question: would it be fine to email a research project leader, express my interest in applying for a postdoc they offer, and ask if they have advice regarding application materials, like the cover letter? 😅

@EvelineSulman@akademienl.social avatar

@lasse @ninokadic @academicchatter I agree! It is good to show your interest and to be able to hand in the appropriate letter and attachments showing how you would fit in.

From a survey of @penn_state : "72% …reported they had not purchased a course’s required textbook, and 33% said they had not registered for a specific course because of its cost of required course materials. In addition, 33% said they had earned a poor grade because they couldn’t afford to purchase a course textbook, and 17% dropped a course because of the cost of materials required for the course."

@DoomsdaysCW @petersuber @penn_state @academicchatter I never tell my students to buy a specific edition, just from which year onwards if there are only minor changes. They can then search for a secondhand book.

We're so used to this, but I would like academics to take a moment and look at how much of the official and unofficial discussion around university is about despair, imposter syndrome, stress, harassment, etc.

What I often see in these discussions, especially the official ones, is discussion of coping mechanisms and "self-care".

What I rarely see in these discussions is questioning why we've built an education system that treats people this way in exchange for this education. @academicchatter

What are the arguments for and against making one's lecture materials (hand outs, presentations) publicly available on one's website?

I've never met Jeff Speaks, but his philosophy of language and mind handouts posted online have helped me so many times with trying to understand something. Now that I have tenure I kind of want to pay it forward.
But this isn't done very often, so I worry there are downsides I am not taking into account. Thoughts?

@ereinbergs @pjw @academicchatter I agree with that! They are sometimes even abracadabra for students that were absent. They are more reminders for me during class...

💫 My latest article is published in the last issue of "Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education". It is about the stopping practices of who are facing policies These practices are a way of the of neoliberalism, but they are also a privilege of senior professors with stable jobs. I hope you find my work interesting.

@icastelaohuerta @edutooters @sociology @academicchatter @academicsunite this sounds so familiar! Both the need to stop (called from causes outside the academia) and the knowledge that it is a privilege. Also that it takes time to get used to it. Wow!!

In 2022 I was invited to contribute to an edited collection that was supposed to come out within the year. That obv didn’t happen, and I still don’t have a prospective publication date. I feel so frustrated and I regret not sending the piece to a journal. Anyone else with a similar experience? @academicchatter

EvelineSulman ,
@EvelineSulman@akademienl.social avatar

@eugenia_diegoli @academicchatter yes, once. For a volume that indeed never materialized. Tried to contact the editor: no answer. Sent it to another volume that was published.

Hello Masto!

Monday was okay-ish with some really super okay bits.

The super okay bits:

(1) One article accepted subject to some revisions (phew!).
(2) !! So I shot my shot a couple of weeks back and asked a memory scholar I admire if she'd be keynote for my Memory studies seminar. She said yes this morning! This will be great not just for me but my PhD supervisees who are working on with me.
(3) Got my meds from the hospital (tiring long drive though) and this marks the first time I've been there since injury...without using a cane. Another milestone.
(4) First class of the semester went okay, despite a couple of technical hitches. Lovely students! And I had sufficient brainspace later to do event organising for the creative writing workshop (secured a as guest speaker) plus work on another article.

Guess that's it. I crash now.

It seems like Mastodon is losing its mindshare to among many academics.

I can't help but think this has to do with the self-imposed limitations of Mastodon — lack of quotes, ordered timeline, etc. Makes it less interesting to use, for no real advantage.

Sad, because the underlying decentralization is much more robust.

Currently writing an article that should be 8,000 words. I am now at 17,000 and I, as a beginner in professional academic writing, need some advice. I know I am the kind of person who thinks through writing. This means that I have probably written a lot that can be cut and left out.

But how do I learn to write reasonably lengthy papers? I swear I thought my topic and questions could be addressed in 8,000 words. I had an outline ... with word counts per section. Still, it went completely off the rails.

Will this get better at some point?

@academicchatter @phdlife @phdstudents

EvelineSulman ,
@EvelineSulman@akademienl.social avatar

@natalie @academicchatter @phdlife @phdstudents it will get better by doing. You learn to make better estimations. But making a long article shorter is quite a job. Start with deleting entire sections. Then delete superfluous sentences. Then ask a friend to delete more. Then also kill your darling ideas that can be deleted. Then cry... and finally use a comb to get rid of the complicated sentences and superfluous words. If you have time, let it rest for a while and then delete even more.

EvelineSulman ,
@EvelineSulman@akademienl.social avatar

@natalie @academicchatter @phdlife @phdstudents oh, and keep all the delete stuff. You never know....

EvelineSulman ,
@EvelineSulman@akademienl.social avatar

@lisabortolotti @natalie @academicchatter @phdlife @phdstudents perhaps by trying to find out which research questions you evetually answer. If you find two distinct ones, you might find a way to split the article.

@DrSuzanne @elduvelle @academicchatter I would say: anything goes (even: that was my choice), as long as it is no direct lie.

@EvelineSulman@akademienl.social avatar

@DrSuzanne @elduvelle @academicchatter it depends: those years can explain a lack of publications or a lack of teaching experience.

Things I didn't realize about the :

(This will be a very long list by the end of the year if I keep it up. We'll see.)

  1. Your statements are basically done after the first few deadlines. I always thought I'd customize extensively for each school.

Nope.

On a week like this (with so many apps due Sep 15), you just don't have time. You have to trust that you already put in the work with your base template. It's a mental shift from fellowship apps.

@writingmonicker @academicchatter @sociology I would say: YES. Working in academia is time management, more than anything else.
