Careers in the Public Humanities

In this episode of Careers in the Public Humanities, Catherine Winters speaks with Dr. Jim McGrath, Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Public Humanities at Brown University‘s John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage. Together the two consider what Digital Public Humanities is, how it differs from Digital Humanities and/or Public Humanities, what the place of these fields are and will be in the future, as well as the role of the postdoc, transitioning from being a graduate student, how to shape your scholarly persona, and more. Thanks so much for listening! We hope you enjoy the conversation.
