“Global Cities: Diasporas and Cosmopolis” is a two-year institute that we are proposing as an NEH Humanities Initiative at Community Colleges in order to bring LaGuardia Community College faculty into dialogue with scholars who examine global cities. Each year of the two-year institute will focus on a distinct topic within the scholarship: “Diasporas” in the first year and “Cosmopolis” in the second year. This sequence mirrors the movement and experience of our students as they enter and make their way through LaGuardia. Many of our students—international students especially—arrive at LaGuardia from different global cultures, representing diaspora itself. Through the course of their studies, these students move toward the more universal and global concerns of cosmopolitanism, an ethical obligation to those who are geographically or culturally remote from oneself. This movement from the personal to the universal—while still maintaining respect for cultural differences—is the ultimate go |

Sitting Bull College (SBC) proposes a three-year humanities initiative designed to record a dwindling collection of fluent speakers of the Lakota/Dakota language on the Standing Rock Reservation in North and South Dakota. These recordings of elders, who began their lives speaking the Lakota/Dakota language, are an invaluable part of efforts to reinvigorate the endangered Lakota/Dakota language. Fluent speakers, immersed in “Lakota/Dakota thought” speak differently and it is important to record this to create a “bridge” between a dwindling generation of fluent speakers and a new generation of young speakers who are learning Lakota/Dakota as a first language and will one day seek to draw on these resources. The project, guided by Sitting Bull College faculty and staff in cooperation with the speakers themselves, will create a vast well of primary source recordings in both audio and video for future generations to draw on. The three part project will engage local speakers in conversation |

This project will address the critical need to keep humanities content strong in community college education. The primary goal of the Encountering Ethics project is to integrate humanities concepts and artifacts into courses across Sinclair and expose students to the humanities in fields traditionally regarded as “outside the humanities.” A secondary goal is to help students make strong connections between their coursework and their learning through humanities artifacts. The project is designed to help students apply knowledge of ethics to real world context by understanding and engaging in the contemporary world. To accomplish this, faculty participants will create a module within an existing course that uses literature, philosophy, history, or art history to explore the theme of ethics as it relates to an appropriate segment of the course. The audience for this project is 25 full-time Sinclair Community College faculty who teach in a wide range of non-humanities based disciplines. |

three-year project aimed at developing humanities courses that reflect Latino/a
history and culture.
Like many HSIs, we must make the transition from Hispanic
“enrolling” to Hispanic “serving.” To address this problem, we are creating a
new streamlined humanities curriculum through a guided pathways model that will
be culturally relevant and reflective of, and relevant to, our institution's
rapidly increasing Hispanic student population while also preparing them to
engage effectively in a global society. Further, the new humanities curriculum
will be informed by practices of diversity and representation to ensure the
content will be reflective of the background of understanding of this student
body. Both practices are consistent with evidenced-based research in higher
education and have demonstrated benefits for underrepresented,
first-generation, and low-income students.

College’s Humanities Initiative at Community Colleges project will explore the
diverse stories of west Los Angeles, using its visual art to move beyond the
dominant narrative and incorporate the lesser known stories of color that have
helped to shape the region. Working collaboratively with students and community
organizations, faculty from the Art History program will integrate these
stories into their courses as a means for engaging the college’s diverse
student population and building community connection. Faculty will house these
stories in a digital database that provides faculty and students with access to
non-linear knowledge that can move through time and establishes a ground that
fosters deeper context with the material. Once established, the digital
database will serve as a resource for other humanities programs interested in
using visual studies as a means for strengthening learning and promoting
engagement.

Our institutes have three goals: 1) to contribute to course development and curriculum design in Global Learning at CUNY community colleges; 2) to support faculty in developing their own scholarship; and 3) to allow a group of LaGuardia students to learn about borders alongside faculty. Our first-year institute will explore political and terrestrial borders – past, present, and future. Our second-year institute will examine border waters, including their functions and the impacts of rising sea levels. At each institute, faculty and students will read scholarship in the field, meet visiting scholars, and take an experiential learning field trip. Faculty will then develop and share new courses or teaching modules on the topic of borders. Faculty will also share their own scholarship related to borders with colleagues. |

This project is intended to increase access to the oral histories of De Anza College’s California History Center (CHC), while also creating new oral histories, digital stories, and an educational walking tour, within a Humanities context and curriculum. De Anza College is eager to undertake the work of reframing historical narratives that better reflect an authentic identity for the people of Silicon Valley. In keeping with the National Endowment for the Humanities' special initiative, A More Perfect Union, this project is motivated by the recognition that the American story is incomplete without the stories of the countless Americans who have been bypassed, ignored, and forgotten. By addressing such marginalization, this project: (1) increases accessibility of the local oral histories already housed at CHC; (2) promotes the creation of new historical narratives, and (3) works with campus and community partners to develop new curriculum and experiential learning activities. |
