The Humanities Without Walls consortium links the humanities centers at sixteen research universities throughout the Midwest and beyond. It aims to create new avenues for collaborative research, teaching, and the production of scholarship in the humanities, forging and sustaining areas of inquiry that cannot be created or maintained without cross-institutional cooperation.
HWW supports two ongoing initiatives: Grand Research Challenge grants and Predoctoral Career Diversity Residential Summer Workshops.
Humanities Without Walls National Predoctoral Career Diversity Residential Summer Workshop
The HWW consortium offers an annual summer workshop for doctoral students interested in learning about diverse careers for humanists. Through a series of workshops, talks, and site visits, participants will learn how to imagine possible futures and leverage their skills and humanities training towards careers in the private sector, the nonprofit world, arts administration, public media, and many other fields.
