Abstract

This article explores the evolving landscape of public humanities, emphasizing its capacity to incite social action and prepare scholars for diverse career paths both inside and outside academia. Drawing on recent scholarship and interviews with 41 public humanists, we outline a framework that reimagines graduate education and research in public humanities. This framework identifies key practices in teaching, research, and public dissemination of knowledge, which are crucial for preparing faculty and students to engage effectively with broader audiences. Highlighting the transformative potential of public humanities, our study underscores the skills and strategies necessary for success in public humanities and advocates for their integration into graduate curricula to better equip future public humanists.
