American Historical Association and the GCC/ImaginePhD Announce Partnership
5/2/2022
Today, the Graduate Career Consortium (GCC), ImaginePhD, and the American Historical Association announced a new partnership designed to elevate GCC professionals and share best practices in humanities graduate student career and professional development. The partnership will create opportunities for mutual learning between GCC members and humanities faculty, staff, and students.
As part of this partnership, we are opening a call for proposals for career and professional development sessions to be presented by GCC members either in-person at the 2023 American Historical Association Annual Meeting in Philadelphia or online as part of the AHA's 2023 online programming.
Learn more about the call for proposals here.
Selected presenters will receive $500, sponsored by ImaginePhD, to help off-set travel costs for in-person sessions or to compensate for time for virtual sessions. In-person presenters will receive a registration waiver to attend the annual meeting.
Topics of particular interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Career and Identity
- Professional Community Building
- Resilience in Graduate School and Career
- Developing a Professional Brand or Scholarly Identity and Virtual Professionalism
