kotov Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Just thought I'd let you guys know that I passed my dissertation defense on Friday. Committee wanted a couple of revisions but that's about it. Heimat Historian, betwixt&between, serenade and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, seriously, I was on fellowship and not teaching for three years out of five and almost all of my resources were conveniently collected in one place, so I didn't have to travel to a lot of different places. Plus, my actual dissertation was only about 275 pages, which is well below the median for history, I gathered. As far as the job market goes, I'm not sure how much support there is to give...it's pretty rough. I still have a few opportunities I'm hopeful about; a couple of postdocs and a couple of TT positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
