Congratulations to Veronica Duran, a graduate student in History, who competed nationally for the Humanities Without Walls (HWW) Fellowship and attended the annual Humanities Without Walls Predoctoral Career Diversity Residential Summer Workshop in Chicago.
The HWW consortium links the humanities centers at 15 research universities throughout the Midwest and beyond. By including graduate students as full research participants in its funded collaborative research, HWW deliberately encourages the professional development of graduate students for careers inside and outside of the academy.
Graduate students selected for this program will engage in intensive discussions with organizers of public humanities projects, leaders of university presses and learned societies, experts in the various domains of the digital humanities, representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations, and holders of important non-faculty positions in colleges and universities (academic administrators, student services professionals, librarians and archivists, development officers, and so forth).
The Humanities Without Walls at UIUC includes many resources about careers and skills that can lead to careers outside of academia. This may be particularly useful for doctorate students.
