@S_Insley_H Some wonderful recs in this thread. Lessons in Chemistry came first to my mind. Also all of Mohsin Hamid (first 3 in 2nd person, and exit west is great). And James McBrides Deacon King Kong

The word ‘But’ asks that it not appear in these sentences https://t.co/d4XCcjof65

Tell your friends / colleagues / room-mates / enemies / passing motorists / local town crier / etc.

This'll be a difficult but important role to fill, requiring a technical generalist's breadth and a humanities heart.

Help me help the humanities by finding the perfect person.

@NEH_Education @PatrickCFleming @MLAnews If you missed us Saturday at the Professional Development Hub, you can always email! Program officers are happy to chat with you about your grant. Emails can be found on each grant page: https://t.co/5Qgu5ibsmT

[PC Fleming @PatrickCFleming]

Very true. And there are all kinds of support needed, from navigating university grants offices (for those lucky enough to have them) to carving out the time to write something that may not get funded to writing the grant itself

[Marisa Parham @amplify285]

@PatrickCFleming True, bc all communication is hard and we call all learn! But— following our points about the difficulty of understand how institutions *actually* work— grant writing is also about understanding another level of “hidden curriculum” and *that’s* a different game sometimes?

[PC Fleming @PatrickCFleming]

Wonderful question about indirect costs from @triproftri at #s404A. Panel's perspective is valuable. Also of interest, this great post about tips for working with IDC: https://t.co/CKhaGVrBl9 #MLA23 #MLA2023

"There's no harder work than grant writing" says @amplify285 at #s440A. Indeed -- but, you can get help! #MLA23 #MLA2023
