How do historians build their career, what motivates them and how they deal with professional and personal challenges? What shapes their professional path? Dr Michael Green from the Faculty of Philosophy and History welcomes you to his podcast, where he will be inviting interesting guests to explore their stories.
Dr. Jan Frode Hatlen, is associate professor and Head of the Department of Historical and Classical Studies at the NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway. He developed his interest in history at an early age, being fascinated by World War Two and its impact on his own city, but later he discovered the ancient history, which became his main scholarly focus.
In our conversation, we discuss how these scholarly interests developed, motivations and challenges in the academic career, and also the perspective of a head of department on the hiring process.
