Please join us for a panel discussion and workshop on pursuing careers beyond the professoriate in FGSS and the humanities. This event will feature a conversation with Liz M. Alexander, Stephen Kim, Lynne Stahl, and Cameron Scott about their journeys to their current careers, followed by a short workshop on identifying transferrable skills with Denise DiRienzo, the Experiential Program Director in the Graduate School’s Careers Beyond Academia program.

Panelist Bios:

Liz Murice Alexander is a doctoral candidate in Literatures in English, completing a dissertation titled Dirty Computers: Erotic Data Poetics. They serve as Digital Communications Grad Intern at the Cornell LGBT Resource Center, a season two producer with Change Agents the Podcast, and founder at SixtyFifthSt Media.

During his time as a graduate student, he worked for Cornell’s Intergroup Dialogue Project (IDP). After graduating, he took a full-time position with IDP as their curriculum specialist. Though this is not the career path he imagined for himself when starting graduate school, his training in FGSS has prepared him well for his current position, which involves EDI work in both academic and student life spaces.

He is currently a writer and editor at UCSF, the University of California’s all health-sciences campus. He has also worked as a science writer at Stanford University.
