A weekly collection of interesting things I find around the Internet. Find something I didn’t? I’d love to hear about it the comments!
What people were talking about this week
What happens at the University-level tenure committee? Female Science Prof tells the tale.
Advice for visiting professors looking to get hired on a tenure-track line.
The Penn State faculty senate proposes removing restrictions on “controversial material” in the classroom.
A few comments about comments
The whole question of being unhappy in academia — no matter what stage you’re in — can feel fraught. If you’d like to comment but are feeling shy about “being out there,” feel free to make up a persona or comment anonymously. You can also email me directly.
First-time commenters are always moderated (because you wouldn’t believe the spam I get), so if your comment doesn’t show up immediately, hang tight! Chances are, I’m not right on my email.
And most of all, let’s all practice compassion for ourselves and others in this difficult time and space.
