Presentation
Professional Career Paths beyond the Classroom
Renaissance Society of America Annual Meeting (RSA)
(2015)
Abstract
In this panel, we will discuss possibilities for professional employment in Renaissance studies besides teaching. Participants will discuss their academic preparation, job searches, and current work status, with an eye toward explaining both how degrees in Renaissance studies are flexible and how academic specialists can contribute to public knowledge, consumption, and enjoyment of the arts, history, and literature. They will also discuss what led them to choose nonacademic employment and emphasize the importance of public and private support for both liberal and fine arts.
