I have a PhD! Now what? If you’ve wondered about what kinds of pathways exist ­--- or can be forged --- with a PhD in the social sciences, come hear from recent PhDs who will share their post-PhD career experiences. What kinds of considerations went into their decisions about what paths to pursue? What was as expected and what was surprising? What lessons did they learn? What did they feel prepared for and what did they wish they had thought about further? How might one prepare for a range of post-PhD pathways?
