Employment options in Public History from Stephen F. Austin University

Last week, we shared the AHA’s summary of “The Entrepreneurial Historian” panel from the organization’s 2013 conference. This week, we invite you to read a guest post from SHRA’s Jennifer Stevens on the History@Work blog. Dr. Stevens was invited by the National Council on Public History to blog about her own impressions at the AHA conference, so the subject matter and message are similar: we need to highlight and encourage more career options for present and future historians. Whether you are a Liberal Arts soul adrift in this digital age, interested in the modern challenges faced by traditional disciplines or just trying to justify studying history to your doubtful parents, we hope you’ll find something of interest.
