The relationship between professional success and higher education is particularly complicated in the field of the Humanities, where students are trained in skills that do not translate directly into high paying jobs. Many Humanities students pass through graduate study before moving on to professional life. Graduate training offers a lifeline for students from less privileged backgrounds. How well do Berkeley's Humanities programs enable students from those backgrounds? What should the social role of graduate study in this area be in a public university like Berkeley?

Join us for a discussion on addressing economic inequality and enhancing accessibility in higher education, as we explore the social significance of graduate study at Berkeley and beyond in our webinar with Timothy Hampton.

Timothy Hampton is Aldo Scaglione and Marie M. Burns Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature and French at UC Berkeley. A former director of the Townsend Humanities Center and fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Paris and the Dahlem Humanities Center in Berlin, he received the Campus Distinguished Teaching Award in 2013. He writes widely about literature, music, and education. You can follow his work at www.timothyhampton.org.
