Hello Academic Tooters (#AcaTooters), as promised, this is my first thread for desi academics (thought not limited to) who want to connect with each other in this new space, and create a virtual support system. Please introduce yourself under here with your name, field, area of research, geographical location (optional). Once we have the thread going, I'll create a list.
Will be also holding future threads on conference, publishing, writing, and other #AcaWoes you can think of.
Boost and tag!

@Paridhigupta #AcaTooters #introductions #india Hi! I'm Anirudh. I'm a geopolitics researcher and amateur historian. My focus area is the early medieval Deccan, c. 600-1100. I'm just generally interested in a lot of fields though so I'm looking forward to interacting with scholars and academics here and learning about their work!

(I'm also hoping to apply to Masters' or PhD programmes eventually and will be looking for guidance on how the application and funding process works)

@AKanisetti hi Anirudh, nice to have you here. Have quite a few historians here. The community is slowly coming together, which is good to see :) please be free to connect with anyone. Also if you need some specific guidance in applications, holler, I am going to have some threads on it in the future :) the next one is going to be on mental health. Super great for you to join.

@Paridhigupta Thank you so much for doing this! Looking forward to the thread.

(BTW I'd be super grateful for any reccommendations on historians to follow since I'm still trying to figure out how Mastodon works!)

@AKanisetti you're welcome Anirudh. And I'm also figuring it out, thus the thread, so I'm sure as the community builds you'll see people. I will tag some historians in this as soon as I spot them for you :)
