Humanities Without Walls Career Diversity Summer Workshops
This project seeks applications from doctoral students pursuing degrees in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. 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 Call for Applications for the next HWW Career Diversity Summer Workshop is now live!
In the summer of 2023, the workshop will be held from July 17, 2023, to July 28, 2023, in Minneapolis, MN, hosted by the University of Minnesota, College of Liberal Arts. Students must be in residence in Minneapolis for the duration of the workshop and are expected to attend all workshop activities. Lodging and some meals will be provided; fellowship awards are intended to cover transportation costs to/from and around Minneapolis, meals, and other expenses.
