Featured Programs

The Institute on the Public Humanities for Doctoral Students offers twenty graduate students an intensive, week-long exploration of the diverse practices that attend community-based research, teaching, engagement through arts and culture inquiry. Addressed to students pursuing careers within and outside higher education, the Institute cultivates skills and knowledge that enable effective and generative culture work across academic and non-academic communities and institutions. The first of its kind in the nation, the Institute was recognized as a "best practice" by Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation's publication The Responsive Ph.D.: Innovations in U.S. Doctoral Education (2005).

American Sabor: Latinos in U.S. Popular Music is a multi-year project of collaborative research between University of Washington faculty and graduate students and the Experience Music Project, a prominent Seattle cultural institution. American Sabor is the first-ever exhibit to manifest in detail the influence of Latinos within the currents of American popular music and social history. This interactive, educational exhibit opened to the Seattle public in October 2007 and is scheduled to travel throughout the U.S. beginning October 2008.

Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History Project is a multi-year research project involving University of Washington students and faculty as well as community and labor organizations and K-12 educators. The purpose of the project is to collect oral histories, photos, and other materials documenting the long history of civil rights struggles in Seattle and western Washington, to generate new research on the links between labor and racial justice campaigns in this region, and to provide accessible teaching materials, curricula, and archives usable in K-12 and community contexts. Project outcomes include a Seattle Civil Rights and Labor History website that receives approximately 15,000 visits per month, and student research that has influenced state legislation and local police training.
