Your formal training as a historian takes place in classes and seminars, writing a cognate paper, taking comprehensive exams, and producing a doctoral dissertation. But there are other facets to an academic career, including public speaking, networking, effective writing, publishing, applying for grants, and teaching. These are not always addressed directly or explicitly in your formal studies. The purpose of the PDW is to help prepare you for the many "other" parts of an academic career (as well as careers outside academe).

This session of the Professional Development Workshop will discuss the process of applying for grants and conferences as a graduate student. When and where should you apply? How do you package or present your work in a grant application or conference abstract or proposal? What conferences are worth your time and effort?
