Simpson Center Crossdisciplinary Graduate Seminars are open to graduate students across disciplines and departments and allow both faculty and students to enrich their work through multi-disciplinary exchange.
HUM 595 courses in Engaged Scholarship/Public Culture explore relations about cultural research, public practice, and diverse forms of community engagement. These crosslisted courses extend and deepen inquiries central to the Institute on the Public Humanities for Doctoral Students.
Many of these courses are offered in conjunction with the community-based Masters of Arts in Cultural Studies (MACS) in Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences at UW Bothell, which links students and faculty on both campuses with a local learning network of cultural organizations.

Approaches To Textual Research: What Can We Do With Texts?
Instructor: Jeanne Heuving (Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, UW Bothell)
M: 5:45-10:05 pm UW1 391
Registrar - Time Schedule
This course poses the question, what can we do with texts? It addresses this question by inquiring into diverse ways research into texts might occur when texts are understood as produced through interactive exchanges with their audience(s) or reader(s). We will consider relationships between rather different groups and texts, whether Oprah's Book Club, social action groups, or avant garde reading collectives. The seminar will engage how texts configure their interactions with their audience(s) and how some texts attempt to alter basic forms of consumption or reading. Seminar members will have the opportunity of interacting with Beverly Dahlen and her project, “A Reading,” and Joe Milutis's New Jersey As an Impossible Object, among other changing weekly investigations. Students can elect to create their own text in relationship to a chosen audience; to interact with selected communities through specific texts, documenting this interaction; or to write a research paper on one of the seminar subjects.
