Career Paths in the Humanities and Social Sciences: Alumni Panels

Interested in learning about your career options but don't know where to start? This series features UVA PhD alumni from the arts, humanities and social sciences (AHSS) who have followed various career paths. You'll get to learn how they ended up where they are, what their daily life at work looks like, and what you can be doing now to prepare yourself for such a future.

This is a great, low-stakes way to learn about what others are doing with their PhD degree, and to start imagining your own possibilities!
