Program Description

The Baltimore Field School 3.0: Collaborative Teaching in Public Humanities, invites applicants for the third iteration in our community-engaged, place-based pedagogy series. Faculty, staff, and students will come together for a one-day intensive workshop aimed at creating collaborative teaching tools rooted in public humanities approaches that strive to make the university's outreach infrastructure more equitable and inclusive. By the end of the day, participants will have contributed to a toolkit that may include syllabus templates, assignment examples, assessment tools, and rubrics that will be localized in a shared online repository. The BFS 3.0 application is open to all UMBC graduate students, full-time staff, and full-time faculty invested in teaching and public humanities.
