Humanities Futures

About

New in 2020, this cluster brings together scholars taking up a variety of questions that include, but are not limited to: field-building in the humanities; graduate and undergraduate curricular innovation; humanities pedagogies and methods; public engagement/public humanities; diversifying the humanities; pipelines and pathways to leadership (in the humanities and more broadly in higher education); issues of precarity and institutional labor; and humanities advocacy. This cluster also includes activities focused on various timely/topical humanities themes that have regional, national, and/or transnational relevance (e.g., health/medical humanities, rural humanities, environmental humanities, and more).
