CUR Conversation: Undergraduate Research and the Public Humanities
October 9, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT
What are the unique opportunities and challenges for combining undergraduate research with public engagement? How can institutional archives (and archivists) support undergraduate research more effectively? What are the best practices for working with community-based partners? And how can colleges institutionalize support for public humanities research?
Between 2019 and 2024, the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) funded 49 campus projects that combined undergraduate research and public-facing humanities activities. Join the authors of Humanities Research for the Public Good [publication found here: www.cic.edu/public-humanities] and two project team members for a conversation about lessons learned from this initiative.
Panelists: Meredith Clark-Wiltz (Franklin College), Philip M. Katz (CIC), Peter Powers (Messiah University), and Anne M. Valk (CUNY Graduate Center)
