The Office Hour

Public Humanities in the Classroom


Listen Later

In this episode, Eric Lewis, Corey Goergen, and Molly Slavin are joined by Jill Fennell, Marion L. Brittain Postdoctoral Fellow, and Wendy Truran, visiting lecturer, to discuss public humanities work in the classroom. What are the impacts of having students complete public-facing research projects? What is there to be learned by both students and instructors from such coursework?

Specifically, we discuss Wendy's Hidden Figures of Modernism research project and Jill's The Fantasy Forum, a collaborative student-centered podcast about fantasy appreciation.

Example student work:

  • "Uncovering the Work of a Lost Poet: Grace Hazard Conkling"
  • "Olivia Ward Bush-Banks"
  • "Hidden Figures of Modernism: Masaoka Shiki"
  • The Fantasy Forum
