This workshop is directed to PhD students who are very close to finishing their dissertations or have just done so. Postdoctoral fellowships come in a variety of different forms; many are residential, some are not. They all provide, however, an excellent way for recent PhDs to gain additional experience teaching (for the postdoctoral fellowships with teaching responsibilities) and time to spend on the research and writing of one’s first monograph or other piece of major scholarly writing. Three Assistant Professors of the UM faculty who themselves have recently held prestigious postdoctoral fellowships will lead the discussion.
Krista Goff, Assistant Professor of History; Jessica Rosenberg, Assistant Professor of English; Allison Schifani, Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities.
Moderator: Mary Lindemann, Professor and Chair of History.
