Courses in Public Scholarship

A wide-ranging community at the University of Washington supports the growth and development of public scholarship through engaged teaching and learning. The Simpson Center has supported the development of many courses and curricula with public scholarship components both directly (through the Mellon Fellowships for New Graduate Seminars in the Humanities and the Certificate in Public Scholarship program) and indirectly. We hope this archive of past, current, and future courses involving publicly-engaged teaching will be a useful tool for students searching for courses and instructors developing coursework in public scholarship.
