Across the United States, faculty and students at higher education institutions are engaging communities in humanities research, teaching, preservation, and a wide variety of public programming. Our resources are aimed at supporting practitioners and students in this work.
Introduction
Humanities for All resources help students, faculty, staff, and communities understand the full range of ways that universities can partner with communities using humanities research, teaching, programming, and infrastructure. Drawing on research undertaken from 2017–2023, these resources:
- Describe higher education-based public humanities projects through 60 profiles.
- Provide context for public humanities work through four essays that analyze and describe the academic field.
- Showcase the practitioner voices through interviews and blog posts.
Humanities for All resources are used by individual practioners looking to deepen their own work, teachers helping students engage with public humanities as a discipline, and academic departments looking for support in developing tenure and promotion guidelines.
Humanities for All was developed with support from the Mellon Foundation.
