    @AHAhistorians This is neat, but emphasizing confidentiality perpetuates the stigma surrounding leaving academia.

    .@ahahistorians VersatilePhD member benefit is awesome! BUT, confidentiality as a feature of using it reveals a BIG problem in grad training

    Like sentiment behind @AHAhistorians new "Versatile Phd" blog.historians.org/news/1813/vers… but stressing confidentiality makes it seem a dirty secret 1/2

    Also, "non-academic" as a term is problematic see #altac RE @AHAhistorians "Versatile Phd" blog.historians.org/news/1813/vers…

    @tjowens @AHAhistorians I wasn't sure about that. And is it only for people who want #altac/non-academic posts after the PhD?

    @mia_out @tjowens @AHAhistorians Many people in the community are concerned about confidentiality for various reasons. 1/2

    @mia_out @tjowens @AHAhistorians And yes, it is focused on people seeking #altac and non-academic positions.

    @alexisan75 @mia_out @ahahistorians academic means lots of things. We should take care classifying a class of work as not academic #altac

    @tjowens @alexisan75 @ahahistorians I have no idea what I want to do in or out of academia after my PhD! Surely that's half the point?

    @mia_out right, but whatever you do I would hazard to guess you will do it with an academic mindset and as a historian :)
