Transformative Learning in the Humanities is a three-year initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. 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.

  • Join us tomorrow for Douglass Day 2023, ft. the papers of Mary Ann Shadd Cary

    Posted by Jessica Murray (she///her) on February 13, 2023 at 1:54 pm

    Tuesday, February 14, 12-3 pm ET (multiple locations and online).

    Douglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass. Each year, we gather thousands of people to help create new & freely available resources for learning about Black history. We frequently focus on important Black women’s archives, such as Anna Julia Cooper (2020) and Mary Church Terrell (2021). This year, Douglass Day features a transcribe-a-thon of the papers of Mary Ann Shadd Cary.

    TLH is organizing three meet-ups for students and faculty at Baruch College, City Tech, and Queens College. 

    Note: You must have a campus ID to join the in-person meet-ups.
