Job Announcement
We are writing to announce a new Women's Caucus website.
At the annual Friday morning breakfast in Cleveland, during the HSS conference, we had discussed creating a centralized website where members could post resources useful for teaching. Thank you for all of your work this past academic year in supplying the syllabi and resources that now comprise the bulk of the material presented on the site. Without you, none of this would have been possible. We hope that the new website is a helpful step in the direction of collaboration.
You will also notice the presence of a "blog" on the page. This is intended to be a space where members of the community can post short summaries of a teaching resource(s) they would like to share with others and to begin conversations about these sources. Each post should be 200-300 words long and, for the moment, emailed to Erika Milam at milam@umd.edu. If you have never written a blog post before, no worries! A few brave souls, Georgina Montgomery and Susan Rensing, have posted blog entries as examples.
We welcome your submissions, comments, and suggestions for other material to include on the site!
With best wishes,
Your Women's Caucus co-chairs
