[Speculative Life Speaker Series/Workshop] Who cares? Public humanities methods and building impact

March 7 @ 13:30 - 15:30

Clusters: Speculative Life

Alison Donnell, Head of Humanities at the University of Bristol, will give a workshop for graduate students titled “Who cares? Public humanities methods and building impact.” This workshop coincides with a graduate course (HUMA 889 – Seminar in Interdisciplinary Studies) but is open to all graduate students.

 

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

The workshop will use Donnell’s Caribbean Literary Heritage and the A-Z project (which started on Facebook) as prompts for greater reflection. To prepare for the workshop, an annotated bibliography of resources in the public humanities will be shared with participants. In addition, students will be given a question guide ahead of time to consider their particular projects, research methods, and key audiences, and to share and learn in an interactive format.

Alison Donnell is Professor of Modern Literatures and Head of Humanities at the University of Bristol. She has been published widely in the field of Caribbean and Black British literature, with significant contributions to the fields of literary history and culture, recovery research of women authors, and Caribbean literary archives.
