For the 2012 Convention (THE place where academics in language and literature departments get jobs), the Modern Language Association which hosts the conference decided to sponsor two full panels on what Bethany Nowviskie calls "the alt-ac track." "Alt-ac" comes from the Twitter hashtag #alt-ac, and it expands to "alternate academic," meaning alternate careers for academics.

MITH is currently seeking applications for two part-time (10 hours per week) positions as Text-Encoders to join the Shelley-Godwin Archive project. Remote work is ok—interested applicants do not need to be local to Maryland.

Bethany Nowviskie published a great blog about abolishing intro methodology courses in humanities disciplines: "It starts on day one"
