market in both the academy (including faculty as well as other kinds of
academic positions) and in industry. Topics will include the relationship
between the job market and the ways in which humanities computing as a
specialization or field is being conceptualized and institutionalized; what
kinds of jobs there are now and what kinds of jobs there are likely to be
more of in the future; what applicants can do to make themselves marketable
in humanities computing; and what hiring committees or companies can do to
attract humanities degree-holders who have advanced skills in computing and
digital media. Special attention will be given to the role that the ACH can
play in preparing graduate students for industry and academic careers in
humanities computing.
