To what extent does humanities Ph.D. training prepare students for a broad range of careers?
Are the skills honed by taking classes, writing seminar papers and dissertations, and teaching truly transferable beyond the academy?
How might diverse or innovative research experiences help Ph.D. students enhance their preparation for both academic and nonacademic job markets?
If you are interested in these questions (and need a break from writing that single-authored twenty-page seminar paper), join us for lunch and lively conversation on Wednesday, April 26, from noon to 1:30 p.m. in Rubenstein 249. Our panel of Ph.D. students will address the relationship between research activity and skill building—specifically, how their research engagements with Bass Connections, Humanities Labs, and Data+ honed project management skills that can transfer to myriad academic and nonacademic work settings.
