In the Fall of 2021, I applied for PhD programs in Literature, and it had already been a long road back to academia. For the first time, everything felt...right. I felt like I finally knew who I was and what my path was. Well, the universe dropkicked me in the face when, one after the other, rejections came rolling in. (1/14)

#gradschool #literature #altacademic #academia #throwbackthursday

New to Mastodon so a little #introduction - I’m a sometime archaeologist, previously working in #communications for the built environment & #heritage sectors.

Now post-PhD (landscapes of social reform, University of York) & working in an #AltAcademic role in #HigherEd in southwest England but still researching/writing on #HistoricalArchaeology whenever I can.

#Humanist, #comedy nerd, & dabbler in photography & music (mainly guitar). Prone to map geekery.
