Event Description

Are you a grad student interested in getting more involved in the arts, public humanities, or engaged scholarship — either during grad school or after you earn your graduate degree? Then join us for the second meeting of the 2023-2024 academic year of the Working in the Creative Arts and Public Humanities cohort (WCAPH).

We will be meeting at Princeton University Press from 2:00pm-3:30pm on Tuesday, November 21, to meet with representatives from the Press, including Director Christie Henry and Editorial Director of Humanities & Social Sciences Eric Crahan. We will also be joined by Joani Etskovitz and Katherine Hogan — Ph.D. candidates in the English department at Harvard and co-founders of the “Literary Careers” project, designed to help humanities students identify, pursue, and obtain intellectually fulfilling, gainful employment.

How to Arrive: Meet at the William Street courtyard entrance of the building, where we will then be escorted inside the building.

About the WCAPH: Initiated during the 2022-23 academic year, this cohort meets with a diverse range of figures working at cultural institutions, both on and off-campus, to explore the reciprocal relationships between performance and research, criticism and production, theory and practice, and administration and academia, while learning about career paths in the public humanities, theater, arts, and GLAMS (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums). Last year, this included trips to museums, theaters, historical societies, and more in Washington DC and New York City, as well as extended engagement with Princeton’s own McCarter Theater.
