Public Humanities: Practice and Opportunities 4/13

Public Humanities: Practice and Opportunities

Jane McNamara from the New York Council for the Humanities will present a workshop for graduate students and interested faculty in the humanities. The topic is "Public Humanities: Practice and Opportunities." "Public Humanities" refers the interface between the academy and the public, bridging the gap between the university and the community. 

Jane will talk about what public humanities entails, and what opportunities are available now for grant funding for public humanities projects and what career opportunities look like in the growing fields of public history, museum studies, and cultural development.
