Communication Networks Wiki-Blitz

 

We often find ourselves circulating calls for papers, job postings, publication announcements, and other materials: bulletins that help us to connect with new interlocutors and that ideally also offer their recipients professional advantages. A select number of robust disciplinary networks for sharing these materials are likely familiar to most of us [the obvious example might be the College Art Association (CAA)]. But many active and effective communicative networks are unequally visible across our subfields and interests, which can present limitations when we hope to build new connections beyond our familiar groups.  

 

This HAAppening for the Mobility and Circulation Constellation invites its participants to brainstorm strategic approaches to sharing news about opportunities and resources—especially as we work to communicate across national, linguistic, institutional, financial and other (often invisible) barriers to circulation. During our hour together, we will generate the beginnings of a communications network Wiki page (see, as a model, the Humanities Journals Wiki or the Art History Jobs Wiki) where we will bring together the communication networks, organizations, and websites through which we learn about and communicate the opportunities that arise in our line of work. 

Participants are invited to bring their laptops so that we can build together in real time. Snacks will be provided!
