Starting in 10 minutes; I'll be tweeting at #MAAwebinar https://twitter.com/MedievalAcademy/status/1308417289398738946
#MAAwebinar Sara Celentano starts us off; a medievalist who works in museums.
#MAAwebinar Lindsay Hanson, lives in Paris, will start us off. 3 things: brief story of Medieval Art History to Professional Tour Guiding; the business aspects, then general notes, tips and tricks - good for alt ac pivoting.
#MAAwebinar Lindsay thought systematically about what she wanted for a career; she needed to be out, moving, with people, teaching, maybe publishing on the side.
#MAAwebinar there are quite a few opportunities for academic tour guiding; academic and storytelling expertise of guides are sold by these companies. On the tours, they are expected to "nerd out."
#MAAwebinar these skills, from the classroom to academic tour guiding, are very transferrable.
