Understanding Your Value: Translating Your Ph.D. Beyond the Faculty Job Market
Time: Sept. 10, 2026, 5 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Location: virtual
Sponsored by the CNY Humanities Corridor
Your Ph.D. has prepared you for far more than the faculty job market—but how do you communicate that to employers? Hear from humanities Ph.D. alumni who have built meaningful careers across government, higher education, nonprofit, and corporate sectors. Presenters include Mark Barber (XQ), Linda Louie (UC Berkeley), and Daniel Singleton (Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh).
Panelists share how they reframed their doctoral training, presented their skills in application materials and interviews, and found work aligned with their interests and values. Beyond the moderated panel and small group breakout conversations, participants may ask questions and learn from alumni in a conversational setting.
This free session, hosted by the Humanities Beyond the Academy (HF7) working group of the CNY Humanities Corridor, is open to graduate students, postdocs, and alumni from all Corridor member institutions.
