Graduate Students to work in the Community from Monterey Bay to the UK
Ten Humanities graduate students will bring public scholarship to the wider community as this year’s cohort of Public Fellows. THI Public Fellows contribute to research, programming, communications and fundraising at companies, non-profit organizations, and cultural institutions and gain valuable experience applying their skills and expertise outside the academy.
This year’s Fellows will work in venues as geographically diverse as a soup center in Norwich, UK; a photography arts and education nonprofit in San Diego; and a Japanese-American internment site in Wyoming. Their work will support contemporary music, Shakespeare, student-run radio and youth empowerment, and experimental music in Santa Cruz, and GLBT and Freedom archives in San Francisco.
