This webinar brings together history PhDs working in a wide variety of roles at tech companies to talk about the work they do, their transition from graduate school into their careers, and job opportunities for historians in the tech sector. Panelists will discuss how they draw on historical skills and perspectives in their work, and how their doctoral education did - or did not - prepare them for their jobs. Join us as we explore what it means to be a historian in the tech world. Register here.
