What would Ph.D. programs in the humanities look like if our goals were to give students good reasons to pursue graduate humanities degrees and to give employers good reasons to hire Ph.D. graduates? Drawing from over a decade of experience with the Obermann Graduate Institute on Engagement and the Academy, the National Humanities Alliance, and Imagining America, Mangum discusses the ways graduate programs across the country are integrating familiar forms of scholarly research and writing with career skills gained through applied practice. Coffee and light snacks will be available.
