Wednesday, September 9, 2020 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Speaker: Dr. Marques Redd, Senior Director of Graduate Advising and Engagement for the Humanities
This presentation will provide an introduction to Humanities Engage. Funded by a $1.5M grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (2019-23), this cross-disciplinary project supports significant and innovative interventions to reimagine the humanities doctorate in ways that broaden and deepen the intellectual and professional development of students. To make the full spectrum of postdoctoral humanistic careers visible, valued, and viable, we are committed to understanding Ph.D. students’ career objectives and the actual career outcomes of doctoral alumni; supporting all doctoral students as they pursue flexible pathways toward timely completion of degrees; emphasizing the overlaps between superb preparation for humanists’ careers within and beyond academia; and improving the quality of postdoctoral outcomes across sectors as well as increasing completion rates of diverse cohorts.
