I run the MLA's project Connected Academics: Preparing Doctoral Students of Language and Literature for a Variety of Careers. I'm interested in how doctoral programs can better prepare their graduates for teaching careers in community colleges and how community college students can be encouraged to pursue study in the humanities.
