Mallory Monaco Caterine *13, Classics Ph.D., is an experienced teacher and researcher in the Department of Classical Studies at Tulane University. She builds effective, student-focused curricula by integrating design-thinking, service-learning, and leadership skills, bridging the gap between theory and practice. She has published extensively on pedagogy, ancient Greek biography, and Plutarch. Mallory is a co-founder and co-executive director of Kallion Leadership, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to elevating leadership through the humanities. There she facilitates programs for humanities educators to reframe their teaching as leadership development, and designs and develops communities for leadership practitioners which utilize Humanity’s collective record of art, literature, philosophy, and history as a rich resource of wisdom for confronting the challenges of the human condition.
Chris Caterine is a communications strategist, author, and career coach. He earned his PhD in Classics from the University of Virginia in 2014, then taught as a VAP and worked as an advocate for contingent faculty for three years. He left academia for a job with a corporate consulting firm in 2017. Along the way, he met more than 150 people through informational interviews and networking, built new skills through volunteering and part-time work, and learned how to communicate his academic skills to nonacademic audiences. He recently completed a book— Leaving Academia: A Practical Guide —that advises PhDs and graduate students on how to seek careers beyond higher education. It will be available this September from Princeton University Press.
“The invitation prompted me to take a good stroll down memory lane as I reflected on how my Princeton training led me to where I am. While my seminars and dissertation inspired my mission, the opportunities I had to chart my own path, organize events, and collaborate with peers and faculty gave me the tools that allow me to drive that mission forward.” ~Mallory
