| Abstract | This session will bring together medievalists based at institutions around the world to discuss their experiences at developing their careers and fostering professional networks locally and internationally. What are some of the challenges that they face in networking and collaborating with medievalists within and outside their countries? How helpful are social media (Twitter, Facebook) and forums such as academia.edu and LinkedIn in establishing meaningful connections? How easy or difficult is it to translate social connections into collaborations and multinational / interdisciplinary projects? How have domestic and international discussions and developments informed your research methodologies and teaching experiences? Participants include Muntazir Ali (University of Delhi / Archaeological Survey of India), Elizabeth Liendo (Guilford College / Shanghai School International Division), and Özlem Eren (University of Wisconsin-Madison). |
