Envisioning Career Futures: A Workshop for PhDs and graduate students

This workshop is for graduate students who are interested in exploring career possibilities outside of the faculty path in higher education. Borrowing from Bill Burnett and Dave Evan’s design approach to careers, we will reframe our doctoral training and experiences from the perspective of the “squiggly career” (Sarah Ellis and Helen Tupper), using a values inventory and case studies of humanities PhDs who work outside of academia. This workshop is also an opportunity for participants to begin building networks and community online, particularly through LinkedIn.
