A brief introduction to career paths in the humanities, based on Humtank’s work. The focus is on how humanities expertise – such as the ability to interpret complex contexts and cultural expressions – is needed both within and beyond academia. For all future work, to obtain research funding, collaborate, and find future workplaces, one must be aware of the relevance of one’s research beyond the subject itself. How can this be identified and articulated? And conversely – how can the contemporary context become relevant to one’s own research?
