A Journey from Shakespeare to EdTech

Dr. Christina M. Squitieri received her PhD in English Literature from New York University in 2019, where she worked as an adjunct professor teaching Shakespeare courses and interdisciplinary seminars before landing a job at Cengage, an educational technology company that focuses on post-secondary and higher education. In this PhD Pathways seminar, Christina will talk about the choice to leave academia, the multiple pathways she tried before finally deciding to move into EdTech, and the rewards of finding a job that values the teaching and research experience of a PhD program. She will also share some advice about accepting a non-academic job mid-semester. This event is offered through The Versatile PhD. Attendance is free with UNC’s institutional membership.
