Academic Conference Travel Guide Christoph Bartnek Share
Being an academic allows me to travel to conferences and other events every once in a while. After some time, I became aware of strategies and items that make trips more bearable, and I hope that my insights help you on your own journeys. More
Why Attend an Academic Conference? Popular Culture and American Culture Associations Share
Someone I know was disappointed by the attendance at his session during a recent national conference—there were only fifteen people present—and shared his feelings with me. Although he was a senior scholar, it seemed to me that he had forgotten the variety of reasons why we attend national meetings and has remembered only the personal performance aspect of the meeting. More The High Cost of Networking: Some Thoughts on the Academic Conference John A. Casey Jr. Share
As I sipped a coffee and prepared for my own presentation, it became clear that cost concerns or job pressures forced many to attend the recent MLA conference simply for the day of their talk. It was also clear that some convention attendees were more interested in sightseeing than there were in listening to the latest scholarship in the field. More
Making a Public PhD Chronicle of Higher Education Share
I recently returned from the Modern Language Association's annual meeting, where paradox once again knocked me flat. It's a simple irony, really: the more withered the academic job market becomes, the stronger the job candidates who emerge from it. This year's market is bursting with recession-related backlog. How can graduate schools prepare these talented people for other jobs along with academic ones, so that candidates might not pile on top of one another in pursuit of a few coveted professorial openings?

Calling All Art-History Survey Teachers Art:21 Open Enrollment Share
Although I'd taught in the galleries at the Guggenheim before returning to school, when I began my academic program I also began my pedagogical baptism by fire, aka my teaching fellowship. I began where all other newbies start: with that strange, polymorphous beast, the art-history survey. After my first semester, I realized that reinventing the wheel by writing each lecture from scratch was both time consuming and demoralizing, but also that there was no standard, centralized pool of resources at the City University of New York that I could turn to as I learned the ropes. More How to Jumpstart Your Creative Career in a Bad Economy 99% Share
Times are tough all over. Maybe you were laid off by a company to which you devoted years of your life. Maybe your best clients are canceling projects because you no longer fit in their budget. Maybe you graduated with a pile of student loans and no one is willing to pay you to do the work you want to do. No one ever said being a creative was for the faint of heart, right? More
Art Market Analysis: A Market in Need of Supervision Art Newspaper Share
The most striking thing about the art market—especially as it has grown from the small, passionate community of the early 1990s to a $50 billion industry today—is that it largely functions along self-regulating lines. Prices, authenticity, standards, and practices are all arrived at among the art world itself, without much reference or recourse to government—it feels like a libertarian's dream of a free and unfettered market. But, the recent scandal engulfing the 165-year-old Knoedler Gallery, with the authenticity of works attributed to American painters such as Robert Motherwell and Jackson Pollock coming under scrutiny, suggests that more adult supervision is required.
