New "Ranch Porch" Installment (Patreon)

Working at Universities

Most "professors" in the university system are on short-term contracts with very uncertain futures. Some thoughts from someone who has walked this path a long time. Part 6 of "The Ranch Porch Series," an irregular series of weekend videos on personal topics or topics not directly related to Old Norse. Dr. Jackson Crawford is Instructor of Nordic Studies and Nordic Program Coordinator at the University of Colorado Boulder (formerly UC Berkeley and UCLA). He is a historical linguist and an experienced teacher of Old Norse, Modern Icelandic, and Norwegian. Visit JacksonWCrawford.com (includes a linked list of all videos).
