      Publishing and editing, translating, consulting, curating, public engagement, digital humanities, creative industries:  What questions do scholars of the Renaissance have about these different career paths, and more?  What suggestions do scholars at mid-career and beyond have for emerging scholars just starting out?

      I’m curious about the outlook for careers in theater administration, given the pandemic. I’ve noticed layoffs and cancellations of job searches. Any sense of which areas of theater admin might recover soonest?

      I was thinking about this again yesterday. I’m going to take a guess that the educational divisions of arts organizations are going to be the most stable units with respect to employment, because those efforts can continue even when the venue itself is closed.
