Career and Professional Development

The faculty of the DLCL believe that professional development is a thoughtful, research-based activity that enhances all dimensions of a Ph.D. student鈥檚 performance. Professionalization takes time and develops gradually throughout a student鈥檚 program. Professional development is also individualized: Ph.D. students have different strengths and interests; the faculty of the DLCL is committed to sustaining the diversity of student interests.

There are three aspects to DLCL professionalization for graduate students.  First, a set of courses and professional opportunities  prepares Ph.D. students for entrance into formal academic positions. These courses overview research, conference attendance, and publication and may include a mentored teaching experience in literature and culture. Second, a set of courses that focus on how to teach foreign language and literatures. This includes practice teaching; first- and second-year instruction; and assessment workshops leading toward a national certification. Third, the DLCL encourages students to pursue internships related to cognizant fields such as the publishing and cultural industries; community college and secondary school teaching; administrative positions, the digital Humanities, and others. Ph.D. students may use a funded quarter, if approved by their advisor and department, to pursue an internship.

Through a partnership with the Library, the DLCL has a dedicated staff position鈥揳n Academic Technology Specialist鈥 to support digital humanities projects that are a component of academic research and/or part of  a portfolio for an alt-ac career. Whether you鈥檙e curious about learning to code, or want to explore tools for visualization, digital storytelling, or asking questions across large text corpora, the digital humanities classes, practicum, and one-on-one collaboration with DLCL鈥檚 Academic Technology Specialist can help you develop the skills you need to create your project.

Professionalization Coursework

A survey of how literary theory and other methods have been made institutional since the nineteenth century. The readings and conversation are designed for entering Ph.D. students in the national literature departments and comparative literature. 
 

 

This workshop focuses on publication and presentation opportunities in culture and literature for DLCL students, as well as planning ahead to acquire needed teaching experience and knowledge to build a strong teaching portfolio. Required. 
 

The Collaborative Teaching Project (CTP) hosts a number of graduate students to work with a faculty member on a literature course.  It constitutes a voluntary, paid opportunity.  
 

Job Market Workshop

This is an annual series of peer-to-peer application material review, Q/A sessions with professionals, coaching and networking opportunities.  Topics for one-hour sessions can include preparing for interviewing; mock interviews; discussions of postdoc opportunities in the US and abroad; the development of dossiers; applying for academic staff jobs such as lecturerships; meeting with alumni who have pursued careers outside of academia; and so forth. 
 


Pedagogy Coursework

DLCL 301 is an introduction to the learning of second-languages and how participants use that knowledge to develop their teaching practices.  Required. 
 

DLCL 302 is a continuation of DLCL 301 and focuses on the upper-registers of language learning and use in literature/culture courses.  There is a specific focus on composition with regard to writing prompts and assessment.  Not required. 
 

Not required. 
 

This course focuses on practical aspects of teaching English to speakers of other languages. Its primary focus is an overview of the structure of English, which is crucial for effective English language instruction. 
 

The DLCL sponsors a Certificate in Language Program Management.  In order to complete the certificate (after finishing DLCL 301; DLCL 302; and OPI limited certification), students have a DLCL-funded one-quarter internship in the Language Center and enroll in DLCL 303 for one unit.  This internship covers budgeting, course design, the appointment process, among other areas. It focuses principally on postsecondary programs.

 
 


Digital Humanities and alt-ac Coursework

What does it look like to manage a collaborative project in a way that's both effective and ethical, taking into account the needs of people as well as the task? This class will cover project management and collaboration as they are practiced in digital humanities, "alt-ac" (alternative academic) jobs, and similar environments outside academia. In addition to readings and discussion, students will participate in a simulation of one year in the life of a digital humanities project (in the style of Dungeons and Dragons and similar role-playing games), with each student playing the role of a member on the project team.

What if you could take a handwritten manuscript, or a pile of 100 books, and map all the locations that are referenced, or see which characters interact with one another, or how different translators adapted the same novel -- without reading through each text to manually compile those lists? Digital humanities tools and methods make it possible, but most tools and tutorials assume the texts are in English. If you work with text (literature, historical documents, fanfic, tweets, or any other textual material) in languages other than English, DLCL 204 is for you. In 1:1 consultation with the instructor, you'll chart your own path based on the language you're working with, the format of the text, and what questions you'd like to try to answer. No previous programming or other technical experience is required, just a reading knowledge of a language other than English (modern or historical). We'll cover the whole process of using digital tools, from start to finish: text acquisition, text enrichment, and analysis/visualization, all of which have applications in a wide range of job contexts within and beyond academia. You'll also have the chance to hear from scholars who are doing digital humanities work in non-English languages, about their experience working across the technical and linguistic borders within their discipline, and within the broader DH community.

Interested in applying digital tools and methods to text, images, or other humanities research materials? This hands-on course will support you in planning and implementing your own digital project, using materials in any language. Working directly with a digital humanities expert, you will identify your own research question that can be addressed by digital methods, define a reasonable scope, and learn how to implement the methods you need to answer your research question. The course will include workshops on topics including data management, project management, and how to talk about your work both in academic contexts, and as part of your portfolio for applying to jobs in other fields
