RIC Career Workshop: University Libraries

Description

The Program in Racism, Immigration, and Citizenship (RIC) will hold a workshop focusing on postdoctoral career opportunities in libraries featuring Heather Furnas and Monica Blair from the Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University.

The event will highlight the range of career pathways in libraries that would be of interest to students in the social sciences and humanities. It will focus on transitioning to careers in libraries from graduate programs and emphasize ways in which students can continue to pursue their scholarly interests as part of their work in this field. The event will also highlight career pathways in the field of the digital humanities.
