Are there any other academics here? Professional social scientists? Humanities? Other denizens of higher education? Are there enough to start a group? Academics or people who are particularly interested in soft scienecs, academia, education, humanities, or fine arts professionals or topics. Is that clearer? I say this because there is already a group for the "hard" sciences, but as members of the hard sciences are also academics or may be interested in other fields they would of course be welcome.

ABD doctoral candidate here. I would be interested if open to students at my level. I am interested in both food safety and health behavior modeling.

If you are a grad student, you're part of the profession imo.

Naval Architect, Aerospace, and Astronomy here. Daughter's a MS in Forensic Psychology and I helped with much of her homework. 🙂

Based upon the answer to this question, I might have a suggestion. How important is it to you that members of this proposed group be academicians engaged only in the 'soft' sciences?

There is a group for hard sciences already, but I would welcome ANY academic

@Orbit -- You didn't answer the question. Must the participants be academics? If so, why?

@Orbit -- Yes, much clearer. You might consider editing your post as well.

Eh, not on paper, but I'm an unyielding pedant and a born hair-splitter, with a BS in BS'in. I did my graduate work while finding the sickness AND the cure, volunteered at Fool Pityin Shelters every summer. After a brief unpaid internship at Badass Inc they promoted me to chairman of the Creative Weaponry Dept, Rusty Spoons division, and I've held a doctorate in "stuffin it in the can" since 1986. Does that count?

LOL

I'm an MFA Ceramics professor.

That sounds like such fun!!

Does anthropology count? Lol. BA in anthropology, 8 years field archaeologist.

Anthropology of course counts! I bet your archaeology experience was really interesting!

@Orbit Indeed it was. 8 years in remote locations in the Greater SW was fun.

I work in mental health research/ evaluation and am working on a master’s related to public health.

Good luck on your Masters!

@Orbit thanks! Just wrapping up my first semester and can’t wait to be DONE with statistics!

I’m a teacher at a community college in MS. I teach 6 different classes towards an associates degree in forestry. I have a masters in GIS and this fall was my very first GPS/GIS class I’ve ever taught.

i've 'taken' a gis class. it sure has taken off!

GIS is a very marketable skill -- kudos!

I like mapping and stuff, but I’m an idiot with coding so I’m not sure how marketable I can make it lol! Getting a masters got me a raise at work ☺️ My passion is forestry for sure
