• Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration & Innovation Your gift helps the Humanities Studio bolster humanities scholarship and foster creativity as an integral part of a liberal arts education at Pomona College. Your support also enables the director to take advantage of unanticipated programming opportunities and interdisciplinary collaborations as they arise.
• Visiting Speakers Your gift enables the Humanities Studio to bring authors, thinkers, and creators from across the arts and humanities, as well as the social and natural sciences, to the College for lively public conversations with the Pomona community (including Pomona alumni and families — we often have permission from our guests to livestream and record their presentations for our out of town friends). Thanks to donor support, visiting speakers are also able to participate in smaller, focused workshops, master classes, and discussions with Pomona students.
• The Humanities Toolkit Your gift provides professional-development opportunities and supports events that help Pomona students and faculty move their humanities learning into the public realm. Recent and upcoming workshops and discussions include writing for trade publishers, creating a podcast, applying to graduate school, and career opportunities in the humanities.
• Humanities Research Your gift supports Pomona students’ summer research on projects they will continue senior year as Humanities Studio Undergraduate Fellows, and provides Humanities Studio Faculty Fellows with resources to write, research, advance scholarship, and publish in their respective fields. Your support also makes possible summer programming such as the Medical Humanities Summer Program.
