🚨 Final 9 hours 🚨 We’ve suspended our giving circle to meet extraordinary needs in an already impossible catastrophe. Families need help with transport + shelter or else they cannot escape north Gaza, which the occupation is flattening this minute.

Why not take a minute to tell us about someone who makes Classics a nicer place.
Maybe there's someone who said just the right thing to you at just the right time.
That person deserves a bit of recognition, neh?

My first book is out now! "Asexuality in Young Adult Fiction" with Cambridge University Press. 🤍💜🖤
This has only been my dream since I was about 7 years old. Back then, I'd have never believed my debut would be academic non-fiction. 📚
Read my book for free for the next two weeks: cup.org/3CEJUrZ
Congratulations!!

This is so disappointing and frustrating (but does give me an extra kick up the backside to finish my monograph proposal 🥲)
I advise instead (or as well!) reading the excellent piece by @yaelrice.bsky.social and @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social for Hyperallergic hyperallergic.com/604897/how-s...
Might put this on my CV ✨️

13.03.2025 11:32 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Thank you! I'm actively looking at pastoral but would prefer teaching - I did my PhD because I really love my subject and want to share it! That said, it's good to know that pastoral roles can offer that flexibility with research

13.03.2025 11:27 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I have, thank you! Unfortunately I've got no training below HE and given how time and energy consuming applications are, I'm happy to leave it for those with more experience. You're right though, a fabulous job for the right person!

13.03.2025 09:57 — 👍 12 🔁 11 💬 3 📌 3Yes, pastoral is likely to have less requirement for unpaid work (at least the roles I'm looking at). It does put me in a position where it's more difficult to access the resources for research, etc though 😔
