TO BE RESCHEDULED: New Directions in Humanities Doctoral Training

At research universities around the country, faculty and administrators face multiple pressures in sustaining competitive and vibrant PhD programs.

Join Edward Balleisen, Vice-Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies, as he talks about these challenges with Leonard Cassuto, author of the forthcoming book, "The New PhD" (Johns Hopkins UP, 2020).
