Teaching Jobs in Academia - The Early Career Researcher Podcast, Episode 10 youtu.be/Tzb93-mkcR4?... and follow them @ecrpodcasters.bsky.social #EarlyCareerResearchers #ECR #Academia

Our Talking about the Past Zoom meeting today discussed this highly interesting podcast episode. It was great to hear the enthusiasm for indexes both as a research tool and as a way of marketing a scholarly book. We concur with their views on the limitations of AI for book indexing.

It's always instructive to hear what other people think about your job, and the @ecrpodcasters.bsky.social episode on indexing was interesting to hear and to discuss. My blog post on indexing aimed at academic authors has more guidance and resources: tanyaizzard.co.uk/2025/11/26/i...

Episode 35: How to Index Your Book If you’ve ever wondered how this *highly interesting* part of the book process works, then join @rozierhistorian.bsky.social @rosiebonte.bsky.social and Rob as we talk: - What is an index for? - What do publishers want? - What makes a good/bad index? Links in bio

After a very busy few weeks, @rozierhistorian.bsky.social and @rosiebonte.bsky.social chatted with our friend Rob yesterday about the *thrilling* task of how to compile an index for your monograph/volume (if you’ve ever done it, then you’ll know!) Episode live on Monday AM, links in bio #academia

Can anyone recommend anyone here to campaigns/promoted awareness for maintaining good mental health among academics? Not for me personally, but thinking of doing a thing about it and wondering who’s out there and who’s good! #academia

If they are interested &, importantly, have capacity to take on new students, they will work you to make the application good & coherent. 1/
