PhD Plus & Scholars Lab - Humanities Research Transformation Bootcamp

Scholars' Lab (Shannon Library, Room 308)

Join PhD Plus and the Scholars’ Lab for a one-day bootcamp to kick off the summer, reconnect with your research practice, and reenvision how you can build bridges between your work and the public. Throughout this bootcamp, you’ll be introduced to digital tools to help you transform your research into new forms, for new audiences – and for your own thought process. By framing your work through multiple lenses, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on your scholarship and experiment with low-stakes opportunities to share it more broadly. This bootcamp welcomes participants from all disciplines, but is particularly designed for graduate students and postdocs in the humanities.
