Additional Resources

It is a good idea to look in places specific to your disciplinary home. If you are, for instance, a graduate student in art history focusing on eighteenth-century art, you might look at College Art Association, American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, or Historians of Eighteenth-Century Art and Architecture. No matter your field, there is a professional organization out there for you. Review their web content for potential opportunities.
