Candid Conversations is a national video dialogue between humanities PhD students, faculty, and PhDs at work in the world. For this project, UCHRI asked two groups of four participants to record five-minute videos around the question of mentorship in the humanities. These conversations and the subsequent panel discussions at the MLA and AHA annual meetings in January 2017 provide opportunities to engage in open dialogue about the faculty-graduate student mentorship model, particularly as it relates to career training for diverse professions.
