Abstract
During the Women�s Caucus luncheon at the 2011 ASECS spring meeting in Vancouver, several caucus participants exchanged anecdotes about how the recession shaped their professional trajectory in significant ways and traded advice on ways to cope with challenges. The discussion at my table led to the roundtable for ASECS 2012 entitled �Funding, Grants, Hiring, Programs: Sharing Advice on How to get Things Done in Hard Times,� chaired by myself and Kirsten Saxton (who, ironically, could not attend because of funding woes). Tellingly, similar discussions were taking place around the room; these discussions resulted in the panel, �Hard Times: Women Scholars and the Dynamics of Economic Recession,� chaired by Linda Zionowski and Christine Clark-Evans. This synchronicity speaks, sadly, to the increasingly shared experience of negotiating �hard times� in an economically disastrous and politically charged climate in U.S. higher education.
