Welcome to Module 5! You’ve already written the core content for your one-page academic website—your bio, research overview, and selected work.
Now you’ll add optional content that supports your goals without overwhelming the page.
Remember: This part is optional. Only include sections that are directly useful to your audience or reinforce the impression you want to leave (as defined in Module 1).
What This Module Covers
You’ll choose and write 1–2 of the following (or similar) sections:
- Teaching
- Awards & Fellowships
- Public Engagement / Media
- Current Projects or Collaborations
- Outreach or Service
The goal: Be brief, relevant, and readable.
Section 1: Teaching (if relevant)
Include if:
- You teach regularly or are applying for teaching-focused jobs/ roles
- You want students or hiring committees to see your pedagogical strengths
Example formats:
Short paragraph:
I teach courses on environmental policy, research design, and climate justice. I’ve developed undergraduate seminars on interdisciplinary field methods and regularly supervise graduate research.
Bullet list with titles:
- Quantitative Methods for Public Policy (undergraduate seminar)
- Climate and Inequality (graduate course)
- Supervised 10+ MA theses in environmental governance
Keep it tight and practical—no need for full course descriptions or evaluations.
Section 2: Awards & Fellowships
Include if:
- You’ve received competitive academic honors
- You want to highlight credibility, funding success, or recognition
Example format:
- Fulbright Research Fellowship, Germany (2023–24)
- Best Paper Award, Society for Media Studies (2022)
- SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship (2020–2024)
No need to explain each one—just name, awarding body, and year.
Section 3: Media, Public Engagement, or Outreach
Include if:
- You speak to public audiences or do policy-relevant work
- Your research has appeared in media outlets
- You work in community-based settings
Example format:
My work has been featured in Nature, The Atlantic, and CBC Radio. I’ve spoken at public science nights, advised municipal climate planning, and contributed to open-access policy briefs.
Or use a few bullets:
- Interviewed on The Data Gap podcast (2023)
- Op-ed in The Conversation: “What Cities Can Learn from Heat Maps”
- Panelist, Public Science Café: AI and Everyday Life (2022)
Section 4: Current Projects or Collaborations
Include if:
- You want to signal ongoing work
- You’re open to collaboration or recruiting students
Keep it short and readable.
Example:
I’m currently co-leading a multi-institutional project on digital archives and cultural memory. I also collaborate with legal scholars on questions of online misinformation.
Your Module 5 Mini-Assignment
- Choose up to 2 optional sections to include.
- Write 2–5 lines of content for each—short paragraph or bullets.
- Label each section clearly with a heading (e.g., “Teaching,” “Awards,” “Outreach”).
Keep these optional sections aligned with your goals (identified in Module 1) and audience expectations.
Add these to your draft document under your chosen sections.
Done? You’re Almost There.
Nice work! You’ve now written all the content for your one-page site. All that’s left is reviewing, tightening, and making sure it flows.
