I got hired into a TT job while I was pregnant w/ a due date 45 days into my appointment. I'll never forget the enthusiasm of the dean who hired me when I told her. She worked hard on the negotiation process to try to find the most humane solutions possible for me #ncph2020 #wg5
In the end, I worked from home for my first semester. We didn't move to Texas until baby was 3 months old. This was great because our families could help us out for a few months.

I had a modified 1:1 teaching load my first year because I was hired to build a PH MA #wg5 #ncph2020
They shifted it to a 0:2 load. I didn't have access to FMLA since I was brand new but they figured out how to get me short term disability for 6 weeks and mostly let me be for the next 4-6 weeks as I prepared to move. #wg5 #ncph2020

Lots of great things happened out of the #wg5 yesterday for Early Career Public Historians in Academia. Here are a few thoughts that came out our curriculum discussion. Things were flying too fast to tweet on the fly yesterday. #ncph2019
In undergrad #publichistory classes where you can't feasibly pull off a real project, having students produce project proposals, grant applications, and other prep documents helps them think through many of the logistics of doing PH work. #wg5 #ncph2019
If you develop a good structure for implementing PH projects in your classes, you can rotate out content and community partners within that structure to be more efficient. #wg5 #ncph2019
