[nabs-l] Blind Students Interested in Academic Careers

[James Fetter]

Dear All,
I hope all of your semesters and final exams, whether you took or had to 
grade them, went well. I am in the beginning stages of organizing a 
group of blind academics and aspiring academics i.e. graduate students 
seeking academic careers, such as myself. By way of a brief 
introduction, I am a graduate student near completion of my Ph.D. in 
Political Science at Notre Dame and am currently on the job market. I 
envision this group starting out as a talk shop for trading ideas about 
seeking academic employment, publishing, getting access to secondary 
sources and other research materials, and all the other aspects of 
starting/advancing a career in the academy with special attention to any 
specific challenges or misconceptions we face as blind academics. If 
interested, please feel free to contact me off list at jfetter at nd.edu. 
If there is sufficient interest, I plan to arrange an informal 
get-together at Convention. I posted a similar message to the Blind 
Educators mailing list, so if you received that, my apologies for the 
double notification.
All Best,
James
