MAA Graduate Student Committee Webinar – Medievalists Beyond the Academy

Posted on March 8, 2023 by Chris


MAA Graduate Student Committee Webinar: Medievalists Beyond the Academy

Join the MAA Graduate Student Committee on March 29th, 2023 at 7 pm EST for a panel on employment for medievalists outside of what we traditionally envision as the “academy” (university-based research and teaching). From grant writing and archival management to secondary education and academic publishing, our participants represent a wide range of experience levels and professional opportunities. In this conversation moderated by GSC members Kersti Francis and Will Beattie, panelists will share their pathways from their PhD to their current position, followed by a live Q and A with questions submitted by our audience. We hope you can join us!

Panelists include:

Dr. Joaneath Spicer, James A. Murnaghan Curator of European Art 1400-1700 at the Walters Art Museum
Dr. Lucy Hinnie, Wikimedian-in-Residence at the British Library
Dr. Kacie Morgan, Grants Manager at HealthRIGHT360
Dr. Rebecca Straple-Sovers, Marketing Specialist at Medieval Institute Publications
