About the Event
The Humanities have been addressing growing challenges for the past few decades, from budget cuts, department mergers and closures, to the increasing professionalization of the university—all of which is linked to students’ desires for undergrad degree programs that are linked to practical careers. These conditions have impacted the Humanities academic job market especially hard. This webinar will consider steps that graduate programs in our field might consider taking to try to respond to their current situation—one that continues to change, sometimes surprisingly quickly.
This webinAAR is part of a series of Academic Relations Committee (ARC) remote sessions that are offered each month; all these meetings tackle topics of direct relevance to the success of a department and each session is recorded and posted on the committee’s page at the AAR site.
