Those models and methods will help graduate programs in disciplines across the humanities expand training opportunities and prepare students for careers in a wide variety of fields and capacities, thereby opening new paths for graduates of humanities programs to help address the most complex problems of our time, such as climate change, racism, inequality, public health crises, the dangers and opportunities of technology, and other urgent issues
Possible topics to be covered by working groups and/or the national convening include, but are not limited to:
- preparing graduate students for diverse humanities careers
