2021 Career Diversity for Historians Faculty Institute
The 2021 AHA Career Diversity Faculty Institute brought together a working group of faculty leaders to consider the purpose and future of doctoral education, drawing on the insights of previous department-based work. Our common goal was to better align doctoral education in participating departments with a more expansive vision of the professional opportunities available to historians and more effectively articulate the value of history and historical thinking. The Faculty Institute met virtually in a series of four workshops.
