How to Give a Chalk Talk (Academic Job Market Success Series PART 2)

Chalk talks are a vital part of the campus visit for certain disciplines (often STEM and certain social sciences) because they demonstrate how a candidate thinks on their feet. However, this element of the job visit is often only open to faculty—leaving many students in the dark as to how to give one (or that they exist!). As a result, many candidates' first experience with this genre is when they are asked to prepare one despite the fact that this talk can make or break a candidate's visit. In the presentation, attendees will learn the fundamentals of chalk talks—what they are, what they look like, and how to prepare one.
