@NewsHour So why did the NewsHour only report the generic remarks of Gov Newsom instead of his big question: What is wrong with us in the US? My take: We seem to be willing and to live with mass shootings, for what?
@HER_storian Dear Colleagues is good. If you are using a memo format rather than a letter format then "To the Evaluation Committee:" is fine too. We've kind of lost the habit of "To Whom It May Concern," but that's always good. Helps us practice the dative case :-)
@Pepper_ATx @AradJGigi Online classes are not cheaper and take more than twice the faculty effort. Ask anyone teaching at any level during Covid. Most students hate them.
@JackKitsch@3rdarm@AradJGigi Time off? You mean unpaid time when academics conduct required research and produce their courses? That’s what the uninformed call summer vacation.
@HER_storian A former grad student I advised just got a full time job as a podcast researcher for Spotify. Isn’t it great to know that Humanities PhDs are contributing professional research to new media? I couldn’t be prouder and she is thrilled with her job.
