How are universities developing new curricula to train humanities graduate students for public humanities work and for a variety of career pathways? John Marx (Professor of English, UC Davis) and Molly McCarthy (Associate Director, UC Davis Humanities Institute) sit down with Simon Abramowitsch (Humanists@Work Graduate Advisory Committee) to discuss the launch of the Mellon Public Scholars Program at UC Davis. The program allows graduate students to engage in community-based summer research projects alongside faculty mentors. These projects aim to encourage collaboration with multiple publics and provide graduate students with experience that will translate to a variety of careers.
