The Collaborative Public Workshop concludes the capstone seminar of the Doctoral Certificate in Collaborative Humanities. Participants develop and workshop a paper over the course of the spring semester while performing a number of collateral academic roles: they may for example nominate and introduce a text that was formative for their scholarly development; serve as first questioners for papers workshopped by others; interview one of their peers, and prepare an introduction to their work. By providing training and preparation for roles that are crucial to the practice and fabric of academic life, yet are seldom the object of formal study and reflection, the course reimagines the conditions and extended the limits of an interdisciplinary and collaborative research space.
