Theme: Community in Times of Crisis: Graduate Students in Medieval Studies and the Role of Service

How can graduate students best support each other and better foster community instead of competition? What strategies can graduate students employ in their roles within academic organizations to foster collaboration, mutual support, and a sense of community? Is there a 'crisis' in the academic job market for medieval studies, and how can involvement in collaborative communities contribute to addressing this crisis? What practical steps can graduate students take in their teaching, research, and service to best prepare themselves for the market as it stands?
