Indications of interest for the next three academic years and any queries can be addressed to damien_mahiet@brown.edu. We welcome new proposals as well as proposals to repeat a collaborative course taught in recent years. For new courses in 2025-26, please plan on emailing brief proposals (course title and max. 140-word catalog description) to damien_mahiet@brown.edu by Monday, September 23, 2024. We will follow up shortly afterwards.

The doctoral certificate in collaborative humanities advances forms of inquiry through collaboration. Each seminar offers its own definition of collaborative practices and assignments. Further information and sample syllabi from the program are available if desired.

Graduate collaborative humanities seminars can be listed or cross-listed in the departments and don't need to detract from departmental offerings. We like to see pairs of faculty from different departments teaching together; but we also offer courses team-taught by two members of the same department. The breadth and appeal of the topic and approach matter more than departmental affiliations of the faculty. A team-taught course can serve simultaneously the collaborative humanities and digital humanities certificate curricula. We also consider courses taught in parallel between two universities.

Staff support as well as instructional and programming funds for the courses, most frequently in the $2,000–2,500 range, are available on the basis of a specific proposal.
