March 10: Cohort Preview and Recruiting Event: "Arts, Humanities, and the Public: Access, Diversity, and Inclusion" (Open to all)
-
Join us to learn more about an upcoming Graduate Learning Cohort on "Leadership in the Arts & Public Humanities: Leveraging Graduate Training Beyond the Academy." This cohort is a joint venture of the Humanities Council and GradFUTURES.
The objectives of this GLC are to create a space for graduate students to explore a variety of career options beyond the academy, to think about how the skills acquired in a graduate program could be applied towards different careers, and to discuss the changing nature of the job market and careers in arts-related industries.
Our first session is entitled "Arts, Humanities, and the Public: Access, Diversity, and Inclusion". We will hear from our featured speakers Cara Bramson of the Princeton University Art Museum and Elena Sauceda-Peeples of the East Trenton Collaborative.
Cara Bramson is the the Student Outreach and Programming Coordinator at PUAM, where she serves as the liaison between the Museum and the Princeton University student community. Elena Sauceda-Peeples is the Program Director of the Easton Trenton Collaborative, a community development and organizing initiative in the East Trenton neighborhood of Trenton's North Ward.
We look forward to an engaging conversation. Dinner will be provided.

Overview
The Leadership in the Creative Arts GLC is a joint venture of the Humanities Council and GradFUTURES.
The GLC will connect graduate student participants with a diverse range of partners in a dynamic, interdisciplinary co-curricular space to explore the reciprocal relationships between performance and research, criticism and production, theory and practice, and administration and academia, while learning about career paths in arts-related organizations.
The GLC’s discussions will be fueled by engaging with the arts, and by the presence of visiting scholars, practitioners, and administrators whose work sustains the arts. This interdisciplinary GLC will be an informal community of critical inquiry and an engaging, supportive learning environment in which students will learn about the past, present, and future of cultural organizations, and acquire contacts and experiences that will equip them for their own career journeys. Ph.D. students will explore ways to engage, partner with, and work with cultural organizations. Students will consider issues such as access and diversity in the arts, public engagement and outreach, digital humanities, and art and social change. Meetings will take place in various arts- and culture-related sites both on and off-campus.
Each cohort meeting will be discussion-based in various forms including the workshop, seminar, roundtable, and panel formats. The cohort will consist of approximately 18 people to maintain an intimate and productive discursive environment. Some events will be open to a broader audience.
