| The
Humanities Institute believes that the ongoing training of excellent
humanities graduate students for careers both within and beyond the
academy is critical to our mission of Making the Humanities Central.
To that end, the Humanities Institute organizes
several programs and workshops throughout the year (funded by the
generous support from the Andrew
W. Mellon Foundation) aimed at humanities, arts, and social
sciences graduate students.
In 2003-04, our support of graduate education in the humanities
will include the following initiatives:
Mellon Graduate Courses: Mellon
Foundation funding will permit us to sponsor five graduate-level
courses whose content relates to topics to be addressed in our Seminar
on Monument, Document: From Archive to Performance. The courses
are:
Graduate
Career Symposium, October 3, 2003: "Making a Living
and Making a Life as a Ph.D.: Weighing Career Options in the Humanities
and Social Sciences"
Cosponsored with the Career Center, the Graduate School, and the
Alumni Association.
Finally, the Humanities Institute, in conjunction
with the Duke University Press, sponsors an annual graduate
internship at the Duke Press,
giving one humanities graduate student exposure to work in the publishing
world.
