College of LAS Events

Collaborations with graduate students are central to Humanities Without Walls (HWW) Grand Research Challenge projects. How can faculty involve students as partners on interdisciplinary and cross-institutional teams? What can this kind of work offer to grad students’ research and professional trajectories? Featuring past HWW research projects based at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (links below), this session will present best practices for including graduate students as co-researchers, co-curators, and co-writers on HWW projects.
