Humanists@Work is a UC-wide initiative geared towards UC Humanities and humanistic Social Science MAs and PhDs interested in careers outside/alongside the academy. Humanists@Work is a targeted continuation of the Mellon-funded Humanities and Changing Conceptions of Work. This initiative, which sought to examine the changing conceptions and experiences of work in the face of major economic, technological and social developments, supported multi-campus research projects, individual scholars, and a daylong workshop geared to humanities graduate students. It was out of this workshop that Humanists@Work was born. Language: en Genres: Education Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Humanities in Action: Service Learning at UCLA
Tuesday, 24 January, 2017
How are universities developing service learning programs that train humanities graduate students to combine teaching and civic engagement? How can these programs expand the role of the humanities public scholar and educator (the teaching-assistant), as well as lead to alternative career paths within and beyond the academy? Beth Goodhue (Associate Director for Engaged Teaching, UCLA Center for Community Learning) and Lisa Felipe (Director, Excellence in Pedagogy and Innovative Classrooms [EPIC] Program) sit down with Helga Zambrano (Humanists@Work Graduate Advisory Committee, 2015-16) to discuss service learning and diversity education offered at the UCLA Center for Community Learning and within humanities departments at UCLA. The program trains humanities graduate student to work alongside faculty to develop a rigorous academic humanities curriculum centered around issues of social justice and diversity that can also directly engage with community-based service. These projects encourage pathways to reimagine the humanities teaching experience within and beyond the classroom and offer valuable professional experience for a variety of careers.
