This video is the first in a new series titled Connected Conversations, which features language and literature PhDs who work in and outside the academy talking about how graduate education can better support career diversity.
In our first installment, Amanda Licastro, a PhD candidate at the Graduate Center, CUNY, discusses her experiences as a “freeway flyer,” the necessity of hands-on work experience for graduate students, and the unique contributions that language and literature PhDs can make outside the world of the university.
