"I was trained in... understanding text as a system that communicates certain values and assumptions. That’s something that I’m still doing, but my texts have changed."
"Tackling new problems during my internship reminded me that I am capable of shifting gears and adapting my skills to new contexts. I also feel better prepared after gaining a fresh perspective on career trajectories. First-hand experience in a different environment helped me to cultivate a deeper self-awareness about what I want in my career."
As a National Humanities Without Walls Pre-Doctoral Fellow, Liz Crisenbery will participate in a three-week series of workshops aimed at helping doctoral students prepare for careers within and beyond academia.
