Alumni »Colloquium
Celebrating the community of more than 200 fellows who have completed the IHUM Post-doctoral Fellowship program, our alumni were invited to a reunion celebration and colloquium on September 15 – 16, 2011 at Stanford. The program highlighted “Teaching Humanities for the 21st Century” and promoted conversation based on common experiences that contributes to the national discussion of the future of humanities in higher education and society. Each session was designed to raise questions for consideration by the group, float ideas to promote creative investigation of the theme, and invite personal reflection and connection.
By all reports, IHUM has been a transformative experience for Post-doctoral Fellows. Through enduring friendships, professional collaborations, pedagogical teamwork and sharing research in progress, IHUM provided a collegial opportunity for personal growth and a supportive transition from graduate training. The Reunion Program built on this shared past, continues our conversations into the present, and challenges us to make a commitment to a thriving future for liberal education.
