Monica Huerta is a Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellow at Duke (2014-16). In this presentation for the Postdocs in the Humanities event held at the FHI in May 2016, she describes on the rich scholarly, pedagogical, and collaborative experiences afforded by her postdoc – and pulls back to reflect on the structural conditions that have made the postdoc increasingly common in the academic labor market.
