Publicly Engaged Humanities Practicum

3 Units

As the culminating experience of the Graduate Certificate in Publicly Engaged Humanities, this practicum facilitates experiential, collaborative, project-based work in the Cleveland community. Students will work with a non-profit community partner organization to design the parameters of the study; projects might include the production of exhibition materials, digital interpretative tools, pedagogical tools (such as lesson plans), acquisition of oral histories, or application for grant support for existing projects. Students will work in consultation with departmental faculty liaisons. Reflective writing assignments will offer students the opportunity to create meaningful connections between their previous, classroom-based learning experiences and the work they are doing off-campus.
