Urban Humanities and Their Publics
Who speaks for the city? For whom and by whom is scholarship produced? Humanities scholars have increasingly become major caretakers of histories, representations, interpretations, physical designs, and experiences of city life. This has been crucial to create exchanges across disciplines and to provide new understandings and frameworks for processes of urbanization. Too often marginalized in these conversations are people outside of the academy, whose lives and experiences have provided material for humanistic inquiry. In this line of research we seek to develop democratic, shared modes of authority, and question the traditional public for the humanities. Opening up scholarship and research to public scrutiny forces us to ask better questions and revise our worn-out habits of mind. More than that, it elevates humanistic thinking by realizing it as an everyday practice, carried out by everyday people. With exhibits, digital projects, lectures, teach-ins, film screenings, and hands-on workshops, we take what we are learning out into the world to be made actionable, replicable, alive, and relevant to everyone.
