Low-effort "sloganeering" and "hashtag" mentalities will not be tolerated. While the moderators try not to penalize politically challenging speech, it is essential that it is delivered thoughtfully and with consideration for how it will impact others. Racism, sexism, homophobia or other forms of bigotry are not allowed and will lead to suspensions or bans. Personal attacks on other users (or people outside of the sub) are not allowed, along with overt hostility to other users or people. We expect discussion to stay civil even when you disagree, and while venting and expressing frustration is fine it needs to be done in an appropriate manner. An exception is made for current faculty changing positions / on the market who might have nuanced questions about dealing with challenges in switching universities.
This includes asking how to become a professor, how to put together your materials, etc. If you are not a faculty member and wish to discuss topics with us, there are several subs for that purpose, including: /r/AskProfessors, r/AskAcademia, r/gradschool, r/AskStudents_Public, r/academia, etc. For graduate student TAs and others who may find themselves in dual student/instructor roles, we ask that you post here "as an instructor" rather than "as a student". As such, we do not allow posts from students or non-academics. This sub is intended as a space for those actively engaged in teaching at the college/university level to discuss. If you're ever unsure, feel free to reach out to the moderators for clarification. If you're new here, please familiarize yourself with the sub rules and follow them. Whether you are an adjunct, a lecturer, a grad TA or tenured stream if you teach students at the college level, this space is for you! While we welcome students and non-academics lurking and learning, posts and comments are not allowed.
