Humanities Without Walls Announces 2022 Career Diversity Workshop Fellows

We are proud to introduce HWW's 2022 Career Diversity Workshop Fellows. The HWW Career Diversity Summer Workshop utilizes a cohort-based approach to assisting humanities PhD students with the development of their careers. The fellows will engage in a series of workshop sessions, talks, informational interviews, and site visits, hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for the Humanities.

Fellows will learn how to imagine possible futures and leverage their skills and humanities training towards careers in the private sector, the nonprofit world, arts administration, government, public media, and many other fields. Congratulations to the 2022 cohort! 

 25 doctoral students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences will attend the workshop this summer, representing 21 higher education institutions nationwide.

Our principles emphasize student agency while giving attendees space to reflect on their values. HWW centers the needs of each fellow, resulting in empowered PhD professionals ready to tackle the world which awaits them post-degree.

• Our sessions intentionally layer foundations for the fellows as they do the real-time work of discerning personal career values, building community within the fellowship cohort, and researching potential career paths. 
• Our fellows have an opportunity to thread the work of racial justice and social equity into their developing life and career goals and to think about inclusion by design as part of their work in the world, whatever shape that may take.

The call for the HWW 2023 Career Diversity Workshop, hosted by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, will be open for applications in August 2022.
