Join us for another fantastic virtual conference featuring really great panels from scholars focused on transformative work in the classroom.

This is an opportunity for H-Net to rise to the occasion and support the scholarly community in old and new ways.

DM me or reply if you want to be a part of the movement to sustain and build on the free and open dissemination of knowledge.

The H-Net Job Guide has been rebuilt, fully integrated into the H-Net Commons, with broader employment representation and custom settings for a more personalized job seeking experience.

H-Net Spaces is a free service that provides scholars in the humanities and social sciences with the tools to manage and build digital academic projects, and we are already receiving applications from scholars whose existing funding and digital infrastructure have been taken away.

5/

H-Net Networks remain sites supporting the free exchange of ideas.

H-Net Reviews and H-Net Journals continue to support publication free from ideological overreach and censure.

4/

Considering these actions, and after many conversations with affected scholars, H-Net leadership sought ways to lean into our commitments to moderated intellectual exchange, collaborative production, and the open dissemination of knowledge.

3/

In months that followed, broad cuts to the agencies and mechanisms that fund scholarship in the U.S. have crippled the work of thousands of academics.

In March, H-Net cosigned a joint statement by the AHA/OAH condemning recent efforts to censor historical content on federal government websites, at many public museums, and across a wide swath of government resources.

We worked hard to improve your experience in all facets of the job search.

Thank you for using the H-Net Job Guide!

As with any major software rollout, we anticipate there may be questions and maybe some kinks to iron out. If the answers you seek aren’t apparent in the policy and F.A.Q. menus at the top right, you can contact our support staff by clicking the Contact Us link.

Expanded filtering for browsing and searching for new job postings.

3/

Jobs tabs featured on every network with field relevant jobs automatically added as they are posted.

Individually customized saved job searches with automatic email notifications: now the jobs you specifically want to see can be sent directly to your inbox.

A New Job Guide Experience

Today we’re proud to roll out the all-new H-Net Job Guide!
We spent the last year working to integrate the Job Guide into the H-Net Commons platform with the following new features:

Let's challenge ourselves to embrace, even embody, the principles of openness. 6/

Within the context of my work, the open dissemination of knowledge, I am reminded that the commitment to open access and open collaboration offer broader access to creativity, depth of thought, immense potential, and the promise of reaching new heights calling to us in the distance. 5/

For some struggling in a time of anger, fear, and despair (the salt flats) this image offers a wider view of the world - and they might recall the words of MLK: "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." 4/

But if we open things up, we see the bigger picture - blue skies and white clouds spanning out from the top of snow covered mountains. A breathtaking view of endless possibility that changes our perspective completely.

This scene offers many lessons, deep truths that we often overlook. 3/

At 282 feet below sea level, Badwater Basin is the lowest point in North America. If we narrow our field of vision, the arid salt flats (which cover nearly 200 square miles) paint a picture of drought and desolation. 2/

Badwater Basin, Death Valley, CA

We often miss the transformative power available in something as simple as "staying open."

I took this photo of Telescope Peak in California from the middle of Badwater Basin in Death Valley. It's a stunning photo that, if we look for it, communicates more than the overwhelming beauty of nature. 1/

NYT headline: How the Transgender Rights Movement Bet on the Supreme Court and Lost Here's the inside story of the case that could set the movement back a generation.

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

Assign at the Chicago no Kings protest stating the only king in Chicago is Froman.

As a Chicago-area native and a child of the 80s, this hits all the right notes.

AI Models Show Signs of Falling Apart as They Ingest More AI-Generated Data As CEOs trip over themselves to invest in AI, the models are falling apart at the seams and going mad from cannibalism.

What if mad cow, but for the internet.
