Lab for Engaged, Applied, and Public Humanities (LEAPH)
The Lab for Engaged, Applied, and Public Humanities (LEAPH) functions as a nexus for interdisciplinary research, curricular development, educational programming, and community-engaged experiences. LEAPH is a dynamic space where participants use humanities methods to explore both societal challenges and the meanings of human flourishing.
LEAPH initiatives bridge divides between the university and the communities we serve.
-
- We produce public-facing scholarship.
- We create work-integrated learning experiences for students.
- We curate humanities experiences that engage and inspire.
LEAPH’s ethos rests at the intersection of three methodological approaches to the greater humanities:
Engaged Humanities:
LEAPH creates and supports interdisciplinary curriculum and academic programs that
respond to contemporary concerns and societal needs.
On-going engaged humanities activities work includes:
- The New Technologies and Engaged Humanities Initiative, which seeks to form technology partnerships and to explore how the humanities can help us produce and utilize technology in ways that support human flourishing.
- Interdisciplinary humanities certificates in the Digital Humanities, the Health and Medical Humanities, and Advanced Humanities Pedagogy.
Applied Humanities
LEAPH bridges humanities education with professionalization through hands-on experiences and applications that go beyond the classroom.
Current applied humanities initiatives include:
- The development and expansion of our Applied Humanities Internship program.
- Our ongoing affiliation with UNTxASU’s Work-Integrated Learning Accelerator.
Public Humanities
LEAPH promotes the greater humanities through projects, research, and activities that engage communities both inside the university and beyond.
Our public humanities work includes:
- Our Friends of the Humanities group, which provides curated humanities experiences to community supporters and raises funds to support humanities efforts, including offering stipends to students involved in unpaid internships.
- The Humanities UNTamed Summer camp, which provides engaging and creative summer learning opportunities for the children in our community.
- Our public-facing research projects include NeuroNarratives and the Texas Animal Humanities Projects.
