For the past four years a cross-Canada project developed by McGill University, TRaCE, has been gathering stories and data about life after (and during) a humanities PhD.

The goal?

To shift the expectations of PhD students away from a single-minded focus on a future in academe (since only about 30% will end up with tenure-track jobs) and give them a sense of a range of satisfying possible careers.
