Because Due Dates
​Sneak Up on us... 

...and because the competitiveness of academia and the scarcity of funding often breeds information hoarding, which ultimately benefits no one. So my request is that as you read, learn, and are reminded of due dates, applications, calls for proposals, etc. (whether that be on this site or others), send it to others, share it out, and resist the ways this system tries to pit us against one another, and let's instead, build each other up. 

For navigation, you can imagine this page as two sections: the first as  ongoing and regularly updated for conference & fellowship/program deadlines; and the second as static  with journals, academic orgs, and job portal sites. Teal indicates hyperlinks.

COVID19 IMPACT: Due to Covid19, many annual meetings have been postponed, cancelled, or shifted to virtual spaces. Please check your respective academic organizations for updates. For information about the virus, precautions to take, as well as the problematic racism and historical bigotry against Asians/Asian-Americans, please read AAAS's statement here. Lastly, despite the updates here, please give grace to yourself. You do not have to be "productive." For resources regarding Covid19, please visit this link.

JOURNALS

​CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT JOURNALS ARE OUT THERE? 
Check out this awesome resource made by Zachary Taylor from University of Texas, Austin. The link below is a spreadsheet of journals in (higher) education:
JOURNAL DATABASE

WANT TO KNOW YOUR JOURNAL REACH?
Many academic journals have a number called "Impact Factor," which is a calculation based on the readership, the number of times a journal is being cited, and more. These numbers are important for things like tenure/promotion, but please note that some really excellent journals do not have impact factors. And, like most measurements, these numbers are products of our socialization (along the same vein of how college rankings are constructed).

WHAT ABOUT FOR GRAD STUDENTS ?
Here are some journals a bit more friendly and receptive to graduate students, but please don't limit yourself! (Thank you to ASHE CEP 2018 for putting it together).
