“Under Review: Rethinking Humanities Graduate Education” is a six-episode podcast series produced and hosted by two recent PhD students in the humanities, Dr. June Ke and Dr. Lauren Burrell Cox. Putting graduate education under review, the podcast advocates for PhD professionalization that includes openness to a variety of careers and discussions of career diversity that are embedded in larger discussions of contingency, educational reform, and racial and socioeconomic diversity. In each episode, June and Lauren speak to guests about pressing issues such as the tenure-track jobs crisis, economic outcomes for humanities PhDs, future directions for graduate education, and professional development that takes into account diverse paths and the current realities of the job market. Under Review serves as a resource for helping graduate students in the humanities feel more empowered as they navigate the academy and take the next steps in their careers.
This podcast is supported by The University of California Humanities Research Institute and The University of Florida Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere.
