Public Humanities Tour

We’re visiting campuses to bring students, faculty, and the public together to celebrate the humanities. Our mission is to rethink how scholarly work is communicated both inside the academy and to the general public—a mission we lay out in this paper for Public Humanities.

Our visit is anchored by our live show, an octophonic audio experience about academic research. In connection to the show, we guest lecture, do audio workshops with students, conduct media training for faculty, and facilitate panels, discussions, and other events about the communication of the humanities.

For students, our live show is a sensorily stimulating event and an introduction to sound as an academic medium; for faculty, it's a chance to meet professors from different departments across campus and to consider a new method of communicating their own work; and for the university, it's an opportunity to have an engaging public event that celebrates academic research in a novel way.
