Transforming Scholarly Preparation in the Humanities at the Doctoral Level
Planning
activities at the State University of New York at Binghamton (SUNY Birmingham) that
include thematic considerations of student internship and assistantship
programs, management of student skill development, alumni mentoring programs,
and methods for increasing faculty acceptance of non-academic careers.
SUNY Binghamton proposes to discuss, explore, and develop five avenues for improving doctoral
education in the humanities and help doctoral students translate what they
have learned into successful careers, including 1) systematically developing
internships and non-academic assistantships on campus; 2) expanding Harpur
College’s undergraduate Liberal Arts to Career Externship (LACE) program to
include opportunities for PhD students; 3) guiding PhD students in the design
and maintenance of Individual Development Plans; 4) establishing roundtables
and mentoring programs with alumni who have non-academic careers; and 5)
increasing faculty acceptance of non-academic careers. We also propose to
explore several additional and currently less-developed ideas.
