Enhancing the Study of Visual, Material, and Historical Culture
The
creation of a “Collaborative Humanities Laboratory” as an online learning
community for students to discover historical, visual, and material culture
through Goucher’s collections.
Goucher College requests a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the development of Goucher’s Collaborative Humanities Laboratory (CHL), a physical and virtual storytelling “space” where students across humanistic disciplines will gather, curate, and present original scholarship centered on images, objects, and artifacts. Under the guidance of humanities faculty and in consultation with faculty in allied disciplines, Goucher students will serve as the acting curators of the Collaborative Humanities Laboratory. CHL projects will extend classroom learning through innovative and interdisciplinary projects that showcase applied, object-centered research in the physical lab space and in an on-line format. The Collaborative Humanities Laboratory will mediate between the classroom and the community by providing a front-facing physical venue and an online presence that will enhance the intellectual life of Goucher College and our outreach to Greater Baltimore.
