HF3: Community-Engaged Public Humanities


About

In collaboration with community partners, we develop and support: participatory action research; humanities and arts programs; and interventions responsive to current conditions and pressing needs in Central New York and around the world.

Collaborative Goals

We focus on publicly engaged humanities research, teaching, and collaboration. The theme of “place” and “place-making” grounds our interdisciplinary and cross-institutional work. Through cross-institutional communication and collaboration, we hope to grow our knowledge and practice of community-engaged public humanities by: (a) interconnecting public humanities programs and activities across the Central New York region; (b) mentoring undergraduate and graduate students to participate in the conceptualization and execution of publicly engaged scholarship; and (c) curating a set of publicly engaged activities and artifacts that can be shared widely across the Corridor network.
