Session Abstract

The curriculum is the heart of doctoral education and a primary expression of departmental priorities and values. Integrating professional development, including pedagogical training, into the curriculum, provides a vehicle for ensuring that all students explore career paths as part of their course of study and signals that a department considers a breadth of skills an essential part of what it means to be a historian. This lightning round brings together faculty from a wide range of PhD-granting departments to discuss successful strategies for incorporating professional development into graduate courses. Brief presentations will be followed by small group discussion with presenters.
