Joy Connolly Discusses COVID-19 Impact on Academic Job Market in Eidolon

Joy Connolly: “…I think this is a really interesting time for PhDs going into non-academic jobs. There’s a lot to learn out there, whether it’s the Mellon/ACLS Public Fellows Program or efforts run by learned societies or consultants… The SCS also has increasing resources for people seeking non-academic jobs…”

“[There’s] a sign in my neighborhood that says: “The future has no format.” And as clichéd as that sentiment is, it’s also true. This is a moment to ask ourselves what we really want to do, and think about how to present that talent and action in a variety of places inside and outside of academia or in the spaces in between, like the one I’ve managed to land in.”

Here are the links to part one and two of the conversation.
