Teaching the Publicly-Engaged Humanities to Undergraduates: A Workshop Series

Teaching the Publicly-Engaged Humanities to Undergraduates: A Workshop Series

​​​​​About the Workshops

HumanitiesX, DePaul University's Experiential Humanities Collaborative, is delighted to share videos and resources related to our June 2024 online professional development workshop series, Teaching the Publicly-Engaged Humanities to UndergraduatesThis series was co-sponsored by the University of Arizona's Department of Public and Applied Humanities.

The aim of these workshops was to connect faculty across disciplines and institutions to share and discuss approaches to teaching project-based, applied, public, or community-engaged humanities assignments and courses.

Each workshop featured three or four invited presenters, who gave short (15-minute) presentations. Presentations were followed by a Q&A and a guided activity for participants, related to the workshop's theme.​​

For a detailed overview of the series, we have prepared an article summarizing the discussions and insights shared. In this article, you will find: 

  • ​​Recordings of the Workshops/Copies of Workshop Slides: If you missed any sessions or wish to revisit the presentations, recordings or slides are now available for each workshop. 
  • Recommended Resources: Throughout the series, presenters highlighted valuable resources, readings, and tools that can enhance your teaching practice and engagement in the humanities.
