Here here - my question is, however, when will we create these kinds of links and support for Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences PhDs? These sorts of endeavours are blossoming in science but we have a rather large stagnancy when it comes to those of us with History or English degrees. AHSS scholars still bring skills in project management, analysis, research, writing etc that are invaluable outside of academia but we aren't given the same specified levels of support as STEM scholars to make those transitions.
