Certificate in Public Scholarship
Certificate in Public Scholarship
The Certificate in Public Scholarship brings together a crossdisciplinary cohort of UW graduate students and faculty interested in:
- public scholarship that engages in cultural practice and inquiry
- campus-community partnerships across all sectors of higher education
- digital and multimedia publication, exhibitions, performance, and other innovative modes of disseminating scholarship
- community-engaged research, teaching, and service
- professional development for careers inside or outside of higher education
The Certificate's unique portfolio- and project-based curriculum enables fellows to integrate their scholarly and social commitments in the context of their intellectual and professional development. An extensive faculty advising network supports project and portfolio development.
Graduate students of good standing in any program at the University of Washington are eligible to apply. Upon admission, students become Simpson Center Public Scholarship Fellows, are assigned a portfolio advisor, and pursue a self-directed 15-credit course of study that includes a practicum project.
Applications due April 17, 2013. Coursework begins autumn 2013.
