Welcome to the Connected Academics group on Humanities Commons! Please read through the following information, and then head over to the Discussion to introduce yourself, where you can also tell us about your goals and what you would like to see from this group!
This is a networking group for academics pursuing a wide range of careers. Feel free to start up a thread in the Discussion section for local/regional groups, where you can post about networking events, happy hours, etc. There is also a Jobs thread, where you can post about various opportunities.
Please take advantage of the Events tab, where you will see a calendar that can be used to share events in your area that would be of interest to our group. You can add tags in the event description, as well.
Here are some resources from the MLA Connected Academics to get you started! Please don’t hesitate to post your own resources in the recommended reading section or other sections.
