Hub Workshops
The Liberal Arts Engagement Hub workshops are centered around techniques and best practices for community-engaged humanities work. Always open to the public, these workshops are designed to bring together university and community members interested in, or already deeply engaged in, humanities-based community-collaborative projects. We always offer food and build in time for attendees to introduce themselves and make connections.
Crisis and Change Series
The Hub’s current event series hones the practice of coming together through crisis and change. This theme is embedded in one of the goals of publicly engaged humanities, which The Hub uses as a framework to anchor our community engagement programming. Our present moment necessitates building a community of solidarity and mutualism.
The Crisis and Change Series will feature several ongoing creative projects and initiatives that are meeting the moment. These presentations will serve as important models for preserving culture and memory in times of heightened urgency and will help facilitate discussions around how we can learn from and incorporate these methods into our own engaged work. Some of the topics covered will include poetry writing, grassroots digital archiving, and documenting communities' responses to federal occupation.
