We offer programs for Environmental Historians and Historians of the American West��to Enhance Career Opportunities and work with Patty Limerick.��

Skills Repurposing Workshops are ��all-expense paid intensives in Applied History that expand your opportunities to engage wider audiences in historical reflection of your scholarly work!��

Each participant takes part in an individualized, three day/customized workshop with focused activities that may include writing, working on book proposals, job searches and presentation skills.��

At��the core of Applied History is the mandate to pay equal attention to historical research��and�� to the identity, concerns, and interests of an anticipated audience. Applied Historians adhere to the basic methods of historical inquiry in studying the past, but take an additional step in applying those methods to arrive at a grounded understanding of the present-day groups who will constitute their audience.

1. Help identifying ways to apply your research to a range of contemporary issues;

3. Guidance on revising dissertations for publication, including contacts with and introductions to publishers;
4. A multi-dimensional employment plan for pursuing opportunities for future work.
5. Networking with scholars, practitioners��and leaders in your field.
