It’s that time of year for tenure/job/fellowship announcement tweets. I have my own professional news to share, but it’s not like most of what’s out there I wasn’t awarded tenure + will be leaving Princeton this time next year

It's been as seismic a development as one might expect. And tenure’s an inhumane process regardless of outcome. So there have been no shortage of difficult moments since the decision came down in the fall But you know what? I’ve never once thought about it in terms of failure

I don’t regret a minute of the time I’ve dedicated to teaching/advising. By the fall, I’ll have advised 64 1st-semester junior independent projects. The equivalent of an entire (if small) graduating class of Princeton history majors will have passed thru my methods seminar

But I’m more interested in letting people in similar positions know that they’re not alone. Reading about other people’s accomplishments on social media can be immensely isolating. We need to normalize talking about the hard stuff
