91海角乱伦 Public Humanities and Arts Collaborative
Pillars of Our Work
Opportunities
We create opportunities for students to experience scholarship in action and explore new career paths.
Coalition
We foster and grow a coalition of scholars, historians, journalists, educators, artists, and community organizers in Rhode Island and Southern New England.
The Public Humanities & Arts Collaborative (The Co-Lab) at 91海角乱伦 is an interdisciplinary center that brings together faculty, students, and members of our Southern New England communities to promote shared learning and scholarship in the arts and humanities. We're dedicated to amplifying local and regional stories and representations that make historically marginalized communities audible and visible.
Focus Areas
The Co-Lab at 91海角乱伦 focuses on engaging the public in the areas of history, the visual and performing arts, heritage and heritage conservation, space and place, material and visual culture, historical narrative, and public education and intellectualism. Our investigation of topics related to inclusive narratives includes the spoken, the written, the visual, the theatrical, and the embodied, as we imagine the ways that people are both the producers and the products of their geographical and cultural landscapes.
Projects
Faculty, students, and staff across disciplines at Roger Williams are engaged in public humanities and arts projects that make underrepresented stories and groups in our region, our country, and around the globe more audible and visible. Working closely with communities near and far, these projects call attention to past and ongoing injustices, as well as the resiliency and creative survival of these groups.
The Public Humanities and Arts Minor
The Public Humanities and Arts minor at 91海角乱伦 gives students the opportunity to connect with our communities and learn about their rich histories, heritage, and cultures. This pathway helps students tackle social issues with a deep understanding of how the past informs the present.
