I draw particular attention to two: one on Roman art and archaeology, and the other in medieval studies. Both are for two-year terms available 1 January 2025, eligible to recent (<5 yrs) PhDs with excellent English. Application deadline for Roman art and archaeology postdoc is 1 July; for medieval studies: 15 July.
🇰🇷🇯🇵🇩🇪 Am Montag hatten wir an der Professur für #DigitalHistory die Kolleg:innen Soo Hyun Mun (#HanyangUniversity , Südkorea), Naoko Morita (#SophiaUniversity , Japan) und Sung Un Gang (@tuberlin) zu Gast, um uns über den Wandel der historischen Fachkulturen in Südkorea, Japan, Deutschland und 🌎-weit auszutauschen. 🤓
Wir sprachen über den großen Benefit, den infrastrukturelle Großprojekte wie @4Memory erzeugen, über die Rolle des Communitybuildings für die Entwicklung und Anerkennung digitalhistorischer Forschung und natürlich darüber, wie wichtig und fruchtbar der internationale Austausch für das Feld ist! 🌍🤝🌏
Surprised no one has suggested Knowledge Commons https://hcommons.social as an instance that is a haven for scholarly people. Perhaps more in higher education, but K12 educators would be welcome and well taken care of with the good moderation. Formerly Humanities Commons, it has expanded into STEM education and other fields to be more inclusive. Based at Michigan State University, it has government grants and other support to sustain its services.
I also recommend Knowledge Commons for blogging or maintaining a free Website. I was just starting to discuss research repositories and criticizing Academia Edu at https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty/112609326085901837 without having space to suggest open access alternatives like Knowledge Commons. Its repository welcomes teaching materials, syllabi, and all sorts of genres, to which I've been happy to contribute, at https://hcommons.social/@SteveMcCarty
“…what bothers me about this educational approach—the “problem” approach, the “STEAM” (STEM + arts) approach—is what it leaves out. It leaves out the humanities. It leaves out books. It leaves out literature and philosophy, history and art history and the history of religion. It leaves out any mode of inquiry—reflection, speculation, conversation with the past—that cannot be turned to immediate practical ends.”
