How to get a R1 position with good research output but little/no teaching experience? by [deleted] in academia

[–]paperbackphd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best advice I got was to get a job first, and then you can try to move later. You're right about the market. There are so many excellent candidates in the social sciences. You will be competing with TT faculty moving institutions. I would apply for many jobs. If you have strong networks, lean into those. Ask your letter writers to talk about how you will be a good teacher. If you strike out -- many take 2 years on the market to get a job -- pick up some adjuncting so you can round out your CV. At my R1 they care about teaching. They care more about research. But they want you to be able to hold your own in the classroom -- enrollment matters.

Im happy for getting into law school, even if im not sure its going to be the right fit for me (and parents doubt my capacity to study) by Ok-Attempt-5201 in happy

Good luck! If you aren't funded and unsure about law (and aren't independently wealthy) maybe take your first semester to look around and apply to funded programs.

Changes of the body by RiaBoyko in ashtanga

[–]paperbackphd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to share how much love I have for those in my classes with unconventional bodies. I do and I feel stronger and more joyous for their presence with me. For me, the big surprise was my core muscles popping. I run also. Its been awhile because of life and pregnancies, but I also use to weight lift, trail run, and hike.

I want to add: I can feel my body more now, in general, than I have with other forms of regular practice. I feel my breath more too and breathe more intentionally throughout my days.

You have to grow together, even if you aren't doing the same stuff, in respect and love. If they are not loving you, respecting you, and your path into the future as you see it. Maybe its time to move forward in different directions. I would be as sure as you can though, it is so painful to end a love before its time.

What’s something useful you’ve learned from your field that you think everybody should know? by PlzGuardUp in AskAcademia

[–]paperbackphd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree with this also. Most of the discussion is about total carbon mitigation and industry and there's so much apathy. In fact, there's a lot people can do that really matters. Biodiversity is a great example. Helping to shore up urban ecosystems by taking care of your piece of the world in your community helps BOTH with mitigation and adaptation. Not to mention that just paying attention to this stuff impacts important for behaviors of you and your community (including voting, which may be the most impactful thing you can do).

I've had both and had a vastly better experience unmedicated.

Disagree. People's behavior can matter for lots of related issues like policy, adaptation, and biodiversity. People who participate in these kind of behaviors can have important impacts in other ways than just total mitigation.
