Preparing Graduate Students
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.
