This panel, "Teaching (in) the Middle Ages," reminds us of the importance of our teaching for our students, reaching back to medieval pedagogy and its effects. #Vagantes2019

We're going to have a few tips from our panel today, available here: 1. Talk to and engage with people outside of medieval studies, too! It helps you explain what you do, but also keep updated on what's happening around you. 2. Talk about it early w/advisors #Vagantes2019 (1/n)

7. Be honest with yourself about what you can do and what your scholarship does. 8. You don't have to be an academic celebrity to be successful. Your work is still useful, interesting, and valuable. 9. Writing a review can be a good entryway into publishing. (4/n)
