Title: Putting the Humanities PhD to Work: Thriving in and beyond the Classroom
Presenter: Katina Rogers, Co-Director of the Futures Initiative and Director of Programs & Administration of HASTAC at The Graduate Center (CUNY)
Date: Wednesday, December 02, 2020, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Description: In her new book, Putting the Humanities PhD to Work, Katina Rogers discusses the current landscape of the academic workforce and explores the evolving rhetoric and practices regarding career preparation and how those changes intersect with admissions practices, scholarly reward structures, and academic labor practices—especially the increasing reliance on contingent labor. Join us for a special presentation and discussion with Katina about her book and the important possibility that different kinds of careers offer engaging, fulfilling, and even unexpected pathways for students who seek them out.
For this special event, we will begin with an interview-style presentation with Katina about her book which will be followed by an open discussion and Q&A with all participants.

When: 04 January 2021 – 08 January 2021; Two daily sessions: (1) 9-10am (2) 4-5pm
What is it and why should I participate?
As we rise to meet new challenges in teaching, we also want to make headway as scholars! Working with other faculty in a writing retreat is a great way to get that grant proposal, conference paper, peer-reviewed journal article, chapter or book moving towards completion!
How will it work?
From the comfort of your own home! We will meet via Zoom twice daily from Jan. 4 – Jan 8. (Monday through Friday) and the days will be for you to WRITE!
In morning meetings (9-10 AM), we will look at effective strategies for productivity, hear from successful scholars across fields at Hunter, gain insights into IRB, learn about the resources available to Hunter faculty at NCFDD, examine tools for data collection in the digital moment, and develop approaches to sustain your personal and professional balance.
In afternoon closing sessions (4-5 PM), we will hold ourselves accountable to our peers and ourselves and achieve daily goals for our writing projects!
How do I sign up?
If you are a full-time faculty or an adjunct faculty at Hunter College, you are eligible to participate! Please be ready to fully commit to the experience for those 5 days.

In this adaptation of module-making camp, participants will build an orientation or welcome module for their students. With these “week-zero” materials and activities, students can learn course information or begin to introduce themselves to each other and the instructor before the first day of class. This allows the instructor to begin the first day of class with a focus on course content and helps students better understand the goals and structure of the course.
The camp is 3 days long and includes time for individualized support and for hands-on work with tools such as VoiceThread and Padlet and skills such as preparing students for hybrid/online courses, recording a welcome video, designing ice-break activities and creating plans to communicate and interact with students. At the end of the camp, participants will be required to create and present the materials and activities in the week-zero module for an online course that they may teach in the future.
Please register to receive information about how to join us.

Theme: Identity and Purpose: Student Lived Experiences in the Classroom
Kickoff: Tuesday 12/15, 12pm – 1pm Seminar Sessions: Thursdays in January: 1/7, 1/14, 1/21, & 1/28, from 1pm – 3:30pm.
Description: We invite Hunter and BMCC adjunct and full-time instructors from all disciplines to participate in a January online seminar series. The series will focus on how to integrate student racial and cultural identities and educational motivations into our online teaching practice. Through guided discussions, guest speakers, and breakout rooms, participants will learn, discuss, and reflect on their students’ learning experiences and then create and share a teaching innovation (e.g. class activity, assignment/project, teaching tool, etc.) for a course they plan to teach in spring 2021 or later. Participants who attend all sessions and complete a teaching innovation for a future course will receive a stipend of $500.
Application: http://bit.ly/hcapbmcc21 Deadline: Monday, 12/7 or until all spots are filled.
We will accept up to 25 participants for this seminar and will keep a waitlist. All applicants should demonstrate an interest in the themes of identity and race as they apply to teaching. We will be offering similar opportunities in the future as part of a 5-year grant.
