Humanities IRL

Humanities IRL is a panel discussion exploring the humanities beyond the classroom, highlighting real-world applications and career paths. Join the Institute for the Humanities as we challenge the idea that the humanities is purely just an academic discipline and showcase the hands-on, dynamic potential of the humanities as a practice!

Join panelists Jason Young (Institute for the Humanities Director), Amanda Krugliak (Arts Curator and Assistant Director, Arts Programming), Michael Hickock (History Lecturer), and Gina Balibrera (LSA Magazine Writer & novelist) as they explore their lives in the humanities.

Topics to be discussed include:

- How can the humanities be taken from the classroom and turned into a hands-on practice?

- How can undergraduate students engage with humanities research both during their studies and in their future careers?

- How can academic experiences shape successful and fulfilling careers in the humanities?
