This event is a Zoom panel tentatively titled “Diverse Careers for Humanities Scholars in a University Setting” and organized in collaboration with Kirstin Wilcox, director of the Humanities Professional Resource Center at the University.

The panel will feature four speakers, each of whom will talk for about 10 minutes and then we will open the floor to questions from the audience. Kirstin and I will introduce the speakers and panel, and we will also moderate during the Q&A.   

The panelists are:

  • Shawn Ballard (Ph.D. English, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, Marketing and Communications Specialist for Arts and Sciences, Washington University in St. Louis) 
  • Dominique Moore (MA, African American Studies, University of California, Los Angeles, Acquisitions Editor, University of Illinois Press) 
  • Nicole Nowbahar (Ph.D. Classics, Rutgers University, Assistant Director of National and International Scholarships Program, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)
