Chris Cornthwaite (PhD)
What the heck can you do with a humanities Ph.D., anyway? Cornthwaite talks about some of the avenues you can choose, from governments to NGOs to non-profits to tech. Attendees will come away with some new ideas for rewarding non-academic roles and have a clear sense of how to move into them.
Hosted by the Humanities Beyond the Academy (HF7) working group of the CNY Humanities Corridor.
