In this public session introduced by Executive Vice Chancellor José Luis Cruz, Faculty Directors Cathy N. Davidson (Graduate Center) and Shelly Eversley (Baruch College) will offer information and answer questions about a three-year initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, “Transformative Learning in the Humanities.” The grant supports public talks, symposia, and workshops as well as a series of intensive peer-to-peer faculty seminars for CUNY faculty at all ranks (including adjuncts) in the humanities, arts, and interpretive social sciences. The program focuses on equitable, creative, student-centered pedagogical research and methods designed for the rich diversity of CUNY students; greater recognition for the importance of teaching; and the role of an urgent and indispensable humanities for the future of CUNY students and a more just and equitable society.
