The Academic Profession of History
HIST209A
About the Course:
This course is designed to introduce graduate students to history as a profession. We will discuss the state of graduate education, the evolving job market, the situation for adjuncts and lecturers, questions of diversity and equity, different kinds of teaching jobs, peer review and getting published, careers outside academia, work/family balance, the current state of the humanities, and current challenges facing universities. I will invite some of my departmental colleagues to visit our seminar to discuss their own experiences. This course is open to all students, from those just starting out to those about to enter the job market. There are no letter grades and no paper required. The only requirements are that you do the readings, come to class, and participate in class discussions.
