In Putting the Humanities PhD to Work Katina L. Rogers grounds
practical career advice in a nuanced consideration of the current
landscape of the academic workforce. Drawing on surveys,
interviews, and personal experience, Rogers explores the evolving
rhetoric and practices regarding career preparation and how those
changes intersect with admissions practices, scholarly reward
structures, and academic labor practices-especially the increasing
reliance on contingent labor. Rogers invites readers to consider
how graduate training can lead to meaningful and significant
careers beyond the academy. She provides graduate students with
context and analysis to inform the ways they discern their own
potential career paths while taking an activist perspective that
moves toward individual success and systemic change. For those in
positions to make decisions in humanities departments or programs,
Rogers outlines the circumstances and pressures that students face
and gives examples of programmatic reform that address career
matters in structural ways. Throughout, Rogers highlights the
important possibility that different kinds of careers offer
engaging, fulfilling, and even unexpected pathways for students who
seek them out.
