The Afterlife of the Humanities Major

What becomes of humanities majors after they finish the degree? How might colleges and universities assist them in the transition? The American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the @NationalHumanitiesCenter held a conversation about these issues that featured the perspectives of both academia and industry. The discussion drew on a newly released report from the Humanities Indicators, The State of the Humanities 2021: Workforce & Beyond.
