Katina Rogers replied to the topic Should the term "Alt-Academic" be changed in the light of new cultural shifts? in the discussion
Alt-Academics on MLA Commons 8 years, 11 months agoHi Samara, this has been on my mind, too.

Bethany Nowviskie wrote a short piece a few years ago that traced the…[Read more]

Samara Hayley Steele started the topic Should the term "Alt-Academic" be changed in the light of new cultural shifts? in the discussion
Alt-Academics on MLA Commons 8 years, 11 months agoIt would seem connecting the term “Alt-” these days to anything now denotes a type of political affiliation–alt-right, alt-facts, etc–and I assume those political affiliations do not describe this group.
As a para-academic myself (an academic who works alongside & in conjunction with an academic institution, but not within it in a tra…[Read more]
