Sonya Newlyn received her M.A. in English literature from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and her B.A. in English literature from Emory University, where she also minored in anthropology. In addition to organizing professional development classes, workshops, panels, and the two certificate programs, she also organizes Grad Slam, the Graduate Symposium, and the Distinguished Graduate Student Alumni Award Ceremony.

This workshop is presented by the Division of Graduate Studies and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute as part of our 2023-2024 PhD+ series. The Division of Graduate Studies’ workshops are for current UC Santa Cruz graduate students and postdoctoral scholars and require an active UC Santa Cruz email address.
