Development of a three-year internship program for 15 doctoral students in the humanities.

The Center for the Humanities at Washington University in St. Louis seeks support for our work in reimagining doctoral training in the humanities and supporting the next generation of graduate students: launching an internship program to connect humanities graduate students with mission-driven and justice-oriented local organizations. Over three years, this program will place 15 graduate students with partner organizations and provide student interns with multiple mentors. This program will also have a broader impact: in addition to connecting WashU and local organizations, we will host a conference engaging regional Midwest graduate internship programs to explore the possibility of cross-campus exchanges.
