Job Market Guide

  • by

In 2017, current and former graduate students at UT Austin wrote this job market guide. It might be a bit out of date given COVID and the current political environment, but I’m posting it here for those who might use it. Eventually, I would like us to revisit this from the other side, and get some people that have experienced the job market in 2025 and beyond, but things are busy. Either way, feel free to share fare and wide.

Using MaxQDA and Day One Journal for Fieldwork

  • by

So I’ve just gotten back from my first round of fieldwork, and am about to go back again. One of the wonders of doing fieldwork now is that there are a host of apps to help you organize, plan and carry out your research. While I used many of the same apps I do everyday at home, such as Evernote and Dropbox, I found two apps to be particularly useful in the field- MaxQDA and Day One Journal.
