Alt-Academics on MLA Commons 12 years, 9 months agoHello my fellow alt-ac folk:
I cross-posted on our group blog two posts on the altac life that went live on my personal blog. I’m leaving my current alt-ac position and I started my alt-ac job search–or, I […]

Alt-Academics on MLA Commons 13 years agoWhile at work I am thinking about academics making time to write, esp. #altac folks. It’s especially hard for those of us who enjoy writing. I’m wondering about the research/writing routine of others who are #altac.

I have to do my purportedly “non-job” related research and writing outside of standard working hours in this job.

Yes, that’s my case too. My boss allows me to make time for research related to my job, but any projects not directly related have to be done outside of work.
-
For now, I’m trying to do a little every day early in the morning, but I find the super slow pace frustrating. This month I’m going to try something different and give myself a little extra time on weekends to work on my projects. I wonder how others negotiate writing/research time into their contracts.

Alt-Academics on MLA Commons 13 years agoI uploaded my slides and audio as separate files through SlideShare; once you’ve uploaded your slides it gives you the option of adding audio, and you can then add an mp3 file to it. Maybe that’s an option?

Alt-Academics on MLA Commons 13 years agoMy session was entirely alt-ac focused, but my own position is and this was my talk (sadly slideless).

Alt-Academics on MLA Commons 13 years agoGood idea, Brian; thanks for starting this.
Here are a couple of articles that are less squarely focused on the panels about alt-ac careers, but still relevant to this group:
