Hello world!

Welcome!

If you are a graduate student considering nontraditional career paths either within or outside of academia, you are among friends. If you have a PhD and have followed your own path, you are among people who need your support and insight.

Here, “alternative academic” isn’t a dirty word.

Here, making valuable contributions to the world at large isn’t limited by the number of articles you’ve published or how many courses you teach.

Here, intellectual collaboration and exchange is something that can take place dynamically and in real time, not just in classrooms or between the pages of an academic journal that takes years to see the light of day.

Here, we can learn to negotiate and embrace the changing nature of doctoral research, humanities training, and scholarly communication instead of closing our eyes and pretending it isn’t happening.

Here, we can share resources, stories, dreams, and fears without dismissal, judgment, or guilt.

Welcome.
