Planning at the University of New
Mexico (UNM) around four topics: 1) ideas for developing new courses and
curricula; 2) strategies for collaborating with nonprofits; 3) methods for increasing cross-discipline collaboration, and
increasing the presence of humanities scholars in “nontraditional” sectors,
especially industries associated with the STEM fields; and 4) strategies for
introducing students to careers in the public sector.
The Departments of
American Studies, English, History, and Linguistics at the University of New
Mexico propose to connect disciplines, the university, alumni networks, and
professional communities to transform existing doctoral programs into education
models that prepare humanities scholars for careers in many different
professions, both inside and outside academia.
