You can find the Zoom information below my signature.
This conversation with feature two of our recent graduates, *Kristin
Oberiano* (Assistant Professor of History, Wesleyan University) and *Samantha
Payne* (Assistant Professor of History, College of Charleston). These

Hello All,
I write with two big updates on the department’s job market events, as well
as some information from the Office of Career Services. Our first two job
market events will take place in late October and mid-November. I will
follow up next week with the Zoom information, but wanted to be sure you
were all able to get them into your calendar. They are (I acknowledge that
I need to come up with better names for these):
- The Academic Job Market from Recent Harvard History PhD Candidate
Perspective: This will take place on *Friday, October 28th, from 3:00 to
4:00 *over Zoom and will feature two recent graduates of our program,
Prof. Kristin Oberiano (now at Wesleyan) and Prof. Samantha Payne (now at
the College of Charleston).
- The Academic Job Market from Harvard Faculty Perspective: This will
take place on *Friday, November 18th, from 2:00 to 3:00* over Zoom and
will feature two current faculty members, Prof. Philip Deloria and Prof.
David Spreen.
Our next two job market events, these ones focused on careers outside
academia, will take place early in the Spring semester.
Also, I was recently forwarded some very helpful materials from the Office
of Career Services. Please see the information below about events and
helpful tools they have to offer, as well as the attached PDFs from them.
Best,
Dan
We have much more to share, but here are just a few resources that you and
your students/alums may find helpful – feel free to share:
1. Please encourage your students and recent alums to *schedule an
appointment* with me or Caroline in Crimson Careers
<https://harvard-csm.symplicity.com/students/?signin_tab=0&signin_tab=0>
1. We have just finished updates to our “*What You Can Be with a Harvard
PhD*” booklet (attached)
1. Also attached is a slide that points students toward the *Humanities@Work
programs* (and a career fair) that are on tap for this fall. The program
on *User Experience Research* happened last week, but our speaker
provided the slides
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1o1isTxX1gPrVUzTA0H9lpCmMN6AbwVPlTOwaiEu7geA/edit#slide=id.gfa5c58166f_1_1>
and a fantastic resource list
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zZ01A-5A9AEpuMk7hm0EMHujQDm8w6RITwjoajo1ecs/edit>
.
1. We also presented an orientation webinar for PhD students in August: How
Harvard Can Help You Land a Job or Internship
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tfwt7zvxhE> (additional resource list
is attached)
1. In January , we will offer our annual panel: “*Leveraging Your PhD:
Why Employers Value Your Skills*” – this event features several GSAS
alums who work in a variety of careers outside of academia, and we always
ensure that we have broad disciplinary representation including humanists
and social scientists.
1. In the spring semester, we will offer again, “*Cracking the Culture
around Careers*” which pairs faculty with their former mentees (now
alums working beyond academia) to discuss how they worked together as the
then-PhD student explored careers beyond academia. This event is focused on
the humanities and social sciences, and *we would love to feature a pair
from the history department this spring*! Do you have any suggestions of
faculty members who have been particularly supportive of their students?
Ideally we would like to feature one of their mentees who is now working
outside academe.
