Public Humanities
Public Humanities is an interdisciplinary field that connects the study of the humanities—such as literature, history, and philosophy—with public engagement. It aims to make scholarly work accessible and relevant to broader audiences, fostering dialogue between academics and the community. This can involve various activities, including public lectures, community projects, and digital platforms.
The goal of Public Humanities is to enhance civic life and promote cultural understanding. By collaborating with local organizations, artists, and educators, scholars can address social issues and encourage critical thinking. This approach often emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and the role of the arts in society.
