The SAS Dean of Humanities Office has established partnerships with several leading public humanities organizations across the region to offer internships to graduate students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Selected students receive a stipend of $3,000 to participate in the projects and serve the missions of these organizations, while drawing on their own academic, personal, and professional backgrounds. These organizations? work spans education, creative arts, digital humanities, preservation, public programming, and beyond. Placements are thoughtfully calibrated to meet the interests and needs of both the student and the host organization. Through this program, students receive training in public humanities methodologies, gain hands-on experience in public engagement around humanities themes and methods, and develop a network of mentors throughout the region. Students are matched by a faculty committee in consultation with the host institutions? representatives. This program is supported by the SAS Dean of Humanities and the Rutgers Initiative for the Book.
