HIST 805 - Public Humanities Internship1 credits
The Public Humanities internship introduces students to alternative career possibilities for humanities scholars, and demonstrates how humanities scholarship can be mobilized outside of a traditional academic setting for socially productive ends. At the beginning of the internship, the student, the student’s advisor, and the internship agency will agree to a learning contract, outlining learning goals, working hours, and projects to be undertaken. In all cases, however, students must work minimum of 130 hours, either on or off site. Each internship must conclude with a product of some sort, such as a paper, report, or a project the intern worked on during his or her stay. It should demonstrate a productive collaboration between humanities scholarship and a topic or venture of public concern. The nature and scope of the product (which is analogous to a research paper in other graduate courses) should be discussed and agreed on by the student, the host organization, and the student’s advisor. The advisor will evaluate the final product, which will have considerable weight in determining the student’s grade for the course. It is a 1-c Credit pass/fail course, with a fee to offset the experiential learning activities. Graded Pass/Unsatisfactory.
