Course Description:
Public humanities projects connect various publics to the academic work of scholars in disciplines that explore human history and heritage. At the same time, public humanities projects also help scholars learn from and engage with living communities and cultures. This class will explore how public humanities can be used to bring the study of the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations into the 21st century, including how the use of digital tools, community-based learning, and public art can help scholars collaborate with various publics. We will also discuss how a form of publicly-accessible humanities was utilized even in the ancient world. Students will also investigate how-and if-the field of classics can be decolonialized through, in part, the tools and practices of public humanities. |
