Lecture – Working in the field of history outside of academia

What do you do with a degree in history?

With university positions scarce and not all students necessarily wanting to pursue an academic career… what other options are there?

This talk brings together professionals in the fields of history, heritage mediation, and archaeology to flesh out a clear portrait of existing opportunities and the challenges of the job market in these fields.

The goal? To provide students with diverse viewpoints, encourage them to explore different paths, and allow them to ask their questions directly to stakeholders with rich and varied backgrounds.

A great opportunity to explore the many off-the-beaten-track possibilities open to you who have studied history.
