DESCRIPTION:\n\nThis event will be structured around a series of conversations with invited guests\, senior faculty and administrators from Washington University\, as well as presentations from WashU scholars. The event will create a lively platform for our faculty to discuss their ideas and ambitions for undertaking truly innovative work in the humanities. \n\n\n\n\nView videos and photos from the event by clicking here. \n\n\n\nCo-organized by the Center for the Humanities and the Program in Public Scholarship (now Office of Public Scholarship)\, this event is designed to help humanities faculty and administrators think through how to move beyond traditional requirements for tenure dossiers in the humanities (e.g.\, monograph and articles) to encompass newer ways of doing humanities research — public humanities\, digital humanities\, creative practice. How do we enact systemic change to open up traditional ways of evaluating humanities research to allow scholars to produce this exciting new work while moving through the tenure and promotion processes? \n\n\n\nThis type of systemic change is essential for the health and future of the humanities as we search for new ways to engage with multiple publics and ensure equitable access to the processes of scholarly production to researchers from diverse backgrounds. This one-day event brings together national leaders in humanities organizations\, scholars doing innovative work in the humanities\, as well as thought leaders at both Washington University and other institutions committed to enacting these transformations.  \n\n\n\nConfirmed guests:  \n\n\n\n\nKal Alston\, Professor in Cultural Foundations of Education and Women’s and Gender Studies\, Syracuse University\; Associate Dean for Academic Programs in the School of Education\; Chair\, Imagining America National Advisory Board\; and President-Elect\, Philosophy of Education Society  \n\n\n\n\n\nUlrich Baer\, Director\, Center for the Humanities\; University Professor\, Departments of German and Comparative Literature\, NYU  \n\n\n\n\n\nAntoinette Burton\, Professor of History and Swanlund Endowed Chair\; Director\, Humanities Research Institute\, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign  \n\n\n\n\n\nAlenda Y.
