The Public Humanities Graduate Fellows Program is designed to prepare students for a variety of career paths, both within and beyond the university, and to help them develop new perspectives on their research.

 

Nearly three years in the making and the outcome of a National Endowment for the Humanities Ph.D. Planning grant, the program includes new courses in community-engaged humanities work, paid graduate internships and a capstone project.

 

Applications to the program are currently being accepted. The first cohort of students will be eligible for 2019 internship positions co-sponsored by arts, government and non-profit organizations such as the Alliance for Children’s Rights, the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara, New Beginnings Counseling Center, Superior Court of Santa Barbara County, the Santa Barbara Trust for Historic Preservation, the Santa Barbara County Office of Arts and Culture, and UC Santa Barbara’s Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor.
