Only half of all history PhDs end up in tenured or tenure-track positions in colleges and universities. And only one-third of those are in research universities. Are our PhD programs preparing students for the careers they are likely to have? Jim Grossman, executive director of the American Historical Association will discuss the AHA's inquiries into whether and how graduate preparation in history might adapt to this changing landscape. Response by Kathleen Canning, History Department Chair.

Free and open to the public. Lunch provided.

This event is part of the Friday Series of the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
