five topics: 1) preparing minority
doctoral students in the humanities for entry into a range of non-academic
careers; 2) achieving faculty support for reform; 3) stimulating collaboration among
programs and students across disciplines; 4) identifying humanities alumni to
participate in advising and mentoring programs; and 5) partnering with
nonacademic institutions.
This program will develop activities that will prepare humanities doctoral students for alternative career paths. This project will focus on preparation of students
for discipline-specific non-academic careers, as well
as for a broader range of careers that would draw on the particular skills and
talents that humanities students develop. The project will consist of a year-long set of activities
to investigate and pilot possible programing that enhances in humanities PhD
students critical skills that, combined with the skill sets developed in
academic programs, provide students a wider range of career opportunities. |
