---------------------------CORE COURSE IN THE PUBLIC HUMANITIES
Inter-LS 700: Public Humanities: Theories, Methods, Cases
Tuesday – 1:00 to 3:30pm – University Club Building, Room 313
Sara Guyer
This course will introduce graduate students to a range of methods, theories, and cases that represent the emerging
field of the public humanities. Students in the seminar will be expected to read, practice, and experiment. You will be
asked to think about the limits, audiences, and outcomes of your research, about the possibility of “translational”
research in the humanities (to borrow a term from the sciences), and also to engage critically with a variety of examples
which may include public events, strategic reports, or institutions. The final project will involve the design and in some
cases implementation of a project based upon your scholarly research.
