📚🎧✨Back to School @ Yale University as a History PhD Student & Teaching Fellow

[@raphynette]

I don’t know whether you’ve delved into the topic in a prior video, but I’d be really interested in a « low-down » about the different phases of your PhD journey: the different milestones you have to achieved and when and what they entail (submitting your prospectus, your comp exams, candidacy, being a TA, field research, going abroad: why and for how long, etc). I’m not a US national but I find this riveting!

[@amberjayneflood5652]

Kaelyn you have been a huge inspiration to me throughout my time in academia. I have just started my History PhD, but it's wild that I'm even here. Like you, I wasn't the best student before higher education. In fact I had a terrible time in school and didn't even want to go to college, but I went and I fell in love with history and now I'm here. In that vein, I think a TED talk on something within that realm would be really good because your story helped me believe it was achievable when younger me thought it wasn't 💕

[@reporter42657]

Super excited to watch you prepare to transition into field research. Very inspiring. More personally, working on compiling a literature review for an honor's research project in economics. Looking forward to more exciting content into the spring. Well wishes this semester!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@SammysOnWheels]

I love when you excitedly go on a tangent about the books you're reading, like you did toward the end. More of that please, it makes me feel like I can nerd out alongside somebody 😄

[@gabjpoma]

Your excitement for this semester is contagious! Can’t wait to follow along in the coming months 😊

[@KaelynGraceApple]

🥰this one is going to be special!

I think the weather is getting you ready for UK. Enjoyed your Video - Come to North Wales, Anglesey by the sea, for some nice views...

[@KaelynGraceApple]

haha I think you're right!

[@hxjo28]

Would love to see a video on teaching section/how you go about planning a section, how to actually teach the material, etc. !!

[@Kendenka]

Hear me out... episode one of "a discovery of witches" where the protagonist is doing archival research at the Bodleian. Is this what London redhead academic is gonna give???? I'm excited

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thats the dream 😉

[@JayReneeIAm]

Idk if anyone asked but can you share the name of the recommended book you mentioned (I’m assuming that it would help with teaching/pedagogy?)

[@kristinadube7032]

This semester I am most excited about being given the opportunity to shadow a professor of English and help aid them in their classes each week. I’m also super happy that I got a tutoring promotion of sorts so I’ll be making a tad more an hour for it and building towards privately practicing as well. My goals are to straight A my classes once again and find myself working out more times per week and building myself a healthier diet. Also going to bed before or by 10pm each night!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I love this!

[@pen_paper_and_wardrobe]

How many years of your program do you have left? So exciting! :)

I just finished my Digital History MA in Early Modern England. I mostly focus on 15-1600 cultural history. I have gotten more into your channel to keep my historian brain moving and I love the vibe of your videos!

I'm so excited for you for this semester. I'm sure it's going to be a lot, but it's going to be so great and exciting for you. I'm looking forward to more book reviews in future videos. Personally in the next few months, I'm looking forward to figuring out what prints of my photography will go in an Etsy store, starting a website for my photography business, and finally getting to see if I got accepted to a rare book cataloging course in June (the application status is still processing).
