AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION: Interested in a non-academic career? Sign up for this month’s APA Member Webinar.

 


American Philosophical Association

 

 

There are myriad career opportunities available to philosophers, both within and beyond academia. Because many current philosophy graduate students and recent PhDs are interested in pursuing a variety of careers, the APA’s Committee on Non-Academic Careers has organized a webinar for members: Launching a Non-Academic Career.

The webinar will include perspectives and advice about exploring and embarking on careers outside of academia. The webinar may be especially useful for graduate students and faculty who are interested in career paths beyond the professoriate. The panelists for the webinar are the following:

This webinar will offer useful advice and insight on potential career paths for those with advanced degrees in philosophy. Space is limited, so register now! If you’re unable to attend the live webinar, a recording will be made available to APA members afterward.
