Join the Interdisciplinary Humanities Committee (IHC) to learn more about the new Public Humanities Graduate Fellows Program.
The public humanities are collaborations between scholars and communities that generate new knowledge and creative work to strengthen civic agency and cultural life. Through seminars, practical experience, and a capstone project, Public Humanities Graduate Fellows become conversant with the history, theories, and methods of public humanities. They gain insight into the social reach and relevance of their scholarship and learn how to be publicly-engaged academics. Graduate Fellows will also have the opportunity to use their skills in a variety of social and professional environments, including museums and other cultural institutions, government, education administration, and non-profit organizations.
The program consists of three components: two seminars, a practicum, and a capstone project.
