Imagining America National Conferences

Our annual conferences are crucial to the work that Imagining America does. These events allow public scholars in the cultural disciplines to form a network, to share best practices, to visit project sites, and to gain inspiration and motivation for their work. The conferences take place in a workshop format.

These conferences are also the site where the network outside our consortium comes to gather and work. Within our larger network are organizations such as Americans for the Arts, the American Association of Colleges and Universities, the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Community College Humanities Association, and Campus Compact. Learn more about our partnerships with these organizations here.
