emergent humanities: your story
How do we move what counts in the humanities? 

We do it by developing a new shared story around what we do and why it matters.  

In partnership with the National Humanities Center, I am compiling stories of future-minded humanities scholars and practitioners who care about the community of humanities scholars, the health of our shared work, and the survival of our species.  

Because humanities is the cultivation of collective self-knowledge.

And without it, we will not be able to move on the grand challenges of our time.

I'll be in residence this February at the NHC to build a toolkit of new vocabularies, activities, archives, and stories that can be used by individuals and groups to create and claim space for humanities innovation. I would love to hear your story, learn from you, and share with others in our discipline(s).
