This is a planning page for the Humanities Showcase Project, whose mission is to recruit humanities advocacy recordings and other statements from non-academics and non-humanists. Project Team: Alan Liu (leader), Linda Adler-Kassner, Eileen Boris, Leslie Hammer, Jen Hammerschmidt, Pax Hehmeyer, Zach Horton, Lindsay Thomas, Bill Warner.
Mission: Create a showcase of humanities research (and teaching) with public impact. See the draft content for UC humanities and social science showcase examples created by Alan Liu for the UC Commission on the Future working group on Research Strategies. The showcase could take the form of a database of blurbs and images, which can then be used to create posters, brochures, online OMEKA exhibits, and other kinds of static or interactive displays. The showcase would also be a resource for humanities advocates looking for high-impact examples to use in their speeches, etc.
