Once the bustle of the quarter winds down, you might find yourself reflecting on the professional highs and lows of the past year: the paper that was an unexpected success, the experiment that did not go to plan, or perhaps the prestigious internship opportunity that you managed to land. Whether you feel on track to meet your professional goals or bewildered at the prospect of life after graduate or postdoctoral study, UChicagoGRAD has a range of resources, opportunities, and workshops available to help. Read on for 3 tips for setting yourself up for success in 2023.

| Department of Race, Diaspora, and Indigeneity Inaugural Colloquium – Workshop:
Matthew Kruer, “Nations before the Nation-State: Indigenous Subjecthood within the British Empire” Thursday, December 8, 4–5:30 p.m., SSRB 224
Assistant Professor of Early North American History and the College, Matthew Kruer, will provide an overview of his book project examining small Indigenous nations as they forged new forms of political relations within the constraints of British colonial rule. Kruer will focus on so-called “tributary” nations who accepted—though usually through coercion and conquest—a status as subjects of the king. Despite the violence inherent in subjugation, Indigenous leaders could still exert power by embracing the “subject” category, which was itself in flux amid the territorial expansion of the British empire.
