PhD in the Public Humanities
ReinventPhD is a response to the structural problems that threaten the future of graduate studies in the humanities. It also seeks to respond to the marginalization of the humanities in the public world.
One of our main objectives has been to develop a new PhD in the Public Humanities that will be housed in the Graduate School. For this purpose, we have organized a working group to advise us on the structure and content of this program.
As of January 2018, the proposal was submitted for review. Below you will find the document of the proposal, as well as the bibliography.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email Project Manager Lauren Frey.
