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.
