The Cultural Studies Praxis Collective (CSPC) is a multi-year collaboration of faculty and academic staff at UW Bothell (UWB), UW Seattle (UWS), Cascadia Community College (CCC), and Bellevue Community College (BCC). Its long-term goals are to generate and disseminate new research on the multiple locations of the humanities, to initiate and institutionalize curricular innovation across the four campuses, and to build and develop arts and cultural pathways for community-based research and teaching. Members of the CSPC pursue these goals by working with a wide variety of organizations and projects, including the Master of Arts in Cultural Studies at UWB and the Institute on the Public Humanities for Doctoral Students at UWS.
