The new Ph.D.

Congratulations to Dr. Jennifer Furlong and our colleagues in the Office of Career Planning and Professional Development on their Next Generation Humanities Ph.D. Planning Grant awarded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) for the 2016-2017 academic year. For planning themes, project updates and more visit the project website.

As part of the project, there will be a day of workshops and discussions around careers for PhDs and MAs in the humanities and humanistic social sciences on Thursday, May 4, 2017. This event will offer current students and recent alumni the chance to engage with alumni whose graduate training has enabled them to thrive in a range of careers. I strongly encourage everyone in our community, with the desire and opportunity to attend any or all of the sessions, including staff and faculty, to do so and get this great information (register here).
