The Humanities Alliance established structures and spaces for collective and individual sense-making. By generating a reflexive practice, we offered fellows tools to understand how their specific experiences are related to systemic and historical issues shaping higher education and students’ lives.

The Seminar at the GC is the key space for the fellows to make sense of things. During weekly meetings, fellows discuss principles and readings related to teaching, the state of higher education, professionalization, and other topics. The Seminar is a space for community building and collaborative learning.

In addition to the Seminar, Fellows had one-on-one biweekly check-ins with the Humanities Director. These conversations encompassed different areas: overall well-being of the fellows; their academic progress and other endeavors; raising their institutional awareness; and discussing campus partners and projects.
