The development of a Ph.D. Pathways program that integrates career planning and public communication.

The WVU Humanities Center, with the Departments of History and English and the Office of Graduate Education and Life (OGEL) will innovate our humanities PhD programs by integrating parallel career planning and public communication of humanities knowledge for the public good. We will diversify doctoral training through a three-part approach: revised funding models, new practices for doctoral curricula, and programming that expands the humanities PhD to include a broad range of meaningful careers.
