Hello all!

I just finished updating my profile and boy, did it feel good to say that I recently completed my Ph.D.! That said, since I’m in a transitional period right now, I was a bit unsure of what to list as my academic affiliation and addresses/email addresses on my CV and on the site, but soon I will have new official ones for my job in…[Read more]

Caitlin,

My profile picture was the clearest photo I could find that had been taken in the last 10 years. 😀

My cover photo is a picture I took in the British Museum several years ago, and it’s relevant to my Victorian/British studies research. I use these two pictures across all of my social media platforms as well as my website.

I’d like to…[Read more]

Hello!

I had some information on my profile already, but wanted to add more.

I’ve added:
my CV (love the feature; great for juniors like me!),
an About (kept it brief, and added a personal tone),
Education (very easy to do, copy+paste from CV, really),
Cover image (I had a profile photo already, which people who know me think ‘it’s very me’;…[Read more]

Hello!  After a few passes through it, here’s my profile so far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/jvaught/

I had one, but it needed a tone and content overhaul.  Great suggestions from the challenge and excellent examples from the group helped quite a bit!

As for photos, I had headshots done by a photography student friend a while back an…[Read more]

Wow, so far this first challenge is off to a great start! Thanks to all who’ve shared their profiles so far- they look stellar!

I’m also excited to see that some questions are being raised and discussions are starting regarding the profile page (thanks, Sara and Kate!).

The question regarding how to determine what qualifies as an ‘appropriate’…[Read more]

Like Sara Santos, I’ve debated what the profile picture and cover photo should be for a professional context. As a user, I appreciate the pictures that clearly show a face so I can connect the digital presence to a colleague I’ve seen at conferences, but I also appreciate the pictures that are more interesting than just a professional…[Read more]

Here’s what I have so far: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/mollief/. I’ll probably tinker with it a bit more.

Hello! Click here for my updated profile! I’ve had one for some months, but I’ve updated the information on most sections – also, new profile pic!

A couple of things that came to my mind while working on the profile were: 1) is my current picture “appropriate” for an academic profile? 2) is there a preferred length for the “about” section? In…[Read more]

Hi, all! — I’m Jessica Horvath Williams, a doctoral student in Lit in English at UCLA. I’m a 19th century Americanist, working on literary form and disability, especially mental disability (filing in June 2020). I’m back and forth between California and Minnesota, where my partner lives, and I work the Critical Disability Studies Collective at…[Read more]

Like all of you, I expect to revise what I’ve done thus far as I’m inspired by others’ profiles: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/leighbonds/

Here is my profile: https://hcommons-staging.org/members/djgavin/

Like Kirsten commented, I am open to making changes before the deadline, especially as I get to see others’ profiles and get inspired!

Hi there! I’m Dana Gavin, wrapping up coursework in my PhD studies at Old Dominion University while I teach at Marist College. I am excited to learn more about being a very deliberate and thoughtful online communicator. For example, academic Twitter has been a joy for me, but I want to make sure I am proceeding forward with best practices in mind.…[Read more]

Here is what I’ve done to my profile so far! I might make some more changes depending on how I’m feeling as the deadline approaches.

Hello! I’m Linda Levitt, and I teach in communication, focused primarily on media studies. My first book, a cultural analysis of Hollywood Forever Cemetery, has gone to press. The book builds on my interests in cultural memory, which recently is moving toward material culture as well. I’ve been to a couple of THATCamps over the years and tried to…[Read more]

Hello My name is Andrew,

I’m out in the world of high school teaching but I find it important to stay engaged with the Academic world. I’m also in Colorado where there are not as many opportunities for Classical Archaeologists to meet so I hope to use this platform to stay connected. I am using the summer camp to kick me in the butt and…[Read more]

Hello. My name is Nissa, and I’ll be filing my dissertation–on twentieth c. interwar material culture and expatriate literature–at UC Santa Barbara next week, and will be a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Mannheim this fall. I’m excited to take part in this “camp” and meet you all!

I’m Lisa, and I teach composition, literature, and business communications at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio.  My third and fourth books (one on contemporary American playwright Marsha Norman, and the other an edited collection on Edith Wharton and Ernest Hemingway) are coming out in 2019, so I would like to develop more of a digital…[Read more]

Hello all! My name is Natalie and I just defended my dissertation on literature and mathematics at Princeton University a little over a week ago! I’m in a bit of a transitional period — I recently accepted what seems like the coolest job in Paris at the SAE Institute, but my dissertation committee also insists that I try to publish my d…[Read more]
