There is no planet B, but a plan B - als Geisteswissenschaftler:in in die Onlineredaktion eines Verlags für Ökologie & Nachhaltigkeit

Organizer: Career Centre
Speaker: Sonja Bonneß

When studying humanities, you often don't have a clear career path in mind. If you also want to save the world, things get complicated. Flexibility and a plan B (or C or D) are required. Instead of pursuing a doctorate in American studies, you might end up in the online editorial department of an eco-friendly publishing house, taking care of the website, newsletter, social media, and much more.
Sonja Bonneß uses her own career path to explain why detours can be useful when choosing a career, why the humanities and a commitment to sustainability and climate justice go well together, and how books can make the world a little bit better. After studying American Studies, English, and German, she initially worked at the Department of American Studies at the University of Würzburg. After completing further training as a business manager and doing a lot of volunteer work in the eco-social sector, she finally landed a position as a trainee at oekom Verlag and has since been working as an online editor, using digital communication to inspire people with books and magazines on ecology and sustainability.
