The Cultural Studies Praxis Collective (CSPC) is a multi-year collaboration of academic faculty and staff at UW Bothell, UW Seattle, and Cascadia Community College. CSPC members seek to develop creative, critical, and collaborative forms of cultural work across diverse communities and sites.

Long-term CSPC goals are to generate and disseminate new research on the multiple locations of the humanities, to initiate and institutionalize curricular innovation across the three campuses, and to build and develop arts and cultural pathways for community-based research and teaching.

CSPC members pursue these goals by working with a wide variety of organizations and projects, including the Master of Arts in Cultural Studies at UW Bothell and the Institute on the Public Humanities for Doctoral Students at UW Seattle.

This series of public events focuses on research projects that link interpretive, ethnographic, and performance-based methods; develop and disseminate models for collaborative, engaged cultural studies research; and promote social and institutional transformation. The CSPC is also preparing a collection of writings by and interviews with their invited speakers, under the title of the series. • Events: Autumn 2007 | Winter 2008 | Spring 2008
