For the last several years, administrators, faculty, staff, and graduate students have developed plans for a Mellon-funded Humanities for the Public Good graduate Certificate and Master’s degree (designed as a dual degree for current PhDs as well as a standalone MA). Are you teaching a course or workshop that aligns with HPG and might count toward the Certificate? Join us for a design sprint. We want to know how your courses or workshops might enrich the Certificate. We also want to keep expanding our rich intellectual community of innovative graduate educators connected by a commitment to imaginative, inclusive, equitable, and career-diverse education that weaves through the humanities, the arts, libraries, museums, and adjacent areas.

Engaged Humanities Programs |
As the University of Iowa Andrew W. Mellon-funded Humanities for the Public Good Initiative participants design a graduate Certificate and Master’s degree, we’ve consulted with many leaders in graduate education. They’ve shared creative experiments with a number of degrees–from Certificates, to Master’s degrees, to a Ph.D.

Apply to Develop a Graduate Humanities Lab Course in Summer 2022 |
|
The Mellon Humanities for the Public Good Initiative invites applications from UI faculty and partners to design a Humanities Lab. We define a “Lab” as an applied, experiential approach to teaching and learning that offers graduate students meaningful ways to connect advanced studies in the humanities to both a social challenge and skills valued in multiple career settings. The Lab grant will be awarded to one or more humanities or humanities-adjacent faculty members who, along with collaborators, wish to host a Humanities Lab graduate course in 2022-2023 or 2023-2024. Funding is available to support planning teams and to support departments.
Due Date for Letter of Inquiry: We’ll begin reading applications April 19, 2022, and will accept applications through May 20, 2022
Listen to lab leaders from Berkeley, ASU, and Michigan. Watch here.

WhatEvery1Says (WE1S): The Humanities in Public Discourse is an Andrew W. Mellon-funded project studying the humanities "crisis," the value of humanities, and how the public sees the humanities outside the academy. The WE1S project studied humanities reception in the media and created a valuable list of recommendations to help scholars improve public understanding of their work. Read more.
