Wanna bet that I can complete two course sites in our LMS by the end of today?

--> if I fail, I will post a link there to my *worst* academic paper, and invite ridicule; but

--> if I succeed, you have to post a link here to your *best* academic paper (or work product of whatever sort you do).

I'm picking the two hardest class sites, one is 75% done and the other is .05% done if that helps you decide...

We're*, ** all writing grant proposals requiring statements of #intellectualMerit and #broaderImpacts while simultaneously starting to semester panic about #coursePrep today

right?

* all of us academics who are privileged to have jobs that allow us to have confidence we'll still be employed come September

** There are so many GREAT scholars who've been made unwelcome here. I miss them.

I’m deep down the course planning hole and keep wildly vacillating between “how can I cover all the content I want to in so little time?!?” and “how can I possibly generate enough content for three lectures a week?!?”

Posted about this elsewhere, but curious if I’ll get different/more suggestions here.

I’m playing with an idea for a #MaterialCulture class on lost objects and objects of loss. Right now it’s just a doc of possible topics - stolen #art, #memorials to the #LostCause, Ashley’s sack from All That She Carried, the #Titanic (both ship and necklace)

Anyone have suggestions? Examples of lost/loss objects and possible readings welcome! Thanks!

Making progress in my #devops #courseprep

Met with my #researchmethods TAs and now to do some more #courseprep and then #dissertation #research.

Anyone else on the #dissertating journey? Or #jobsearch? It's stressful!
