Ashton Merck writes on career diversity for AHA Today

In a blog post published by AHA Today, entitled “Research-Oriented: Translating a History PhD into a Successful Career at a Think Tank,” Ashton Merck offers insights from a panel she attended at the 2018 American Historical Association Annual Meeting.  In addition to lessons learned about the prospects of historians working at think tanks, the piece offers a broader reflection on the state of career diversity initiatives for doctoral students, and the similarities and differences between the academic and non-academic job search.
