Our Scholar Spotlight Series aims to showcase and celebrate the breadth and depth of humanities research at UBC by spotlighting humanities faculty, staff, and students whose work is community-engaged, public-facing, and/or produced in and with the public. These spotlights also ask scholars to reflect broadly on the value and process of public scholarship, who it serves, and how it’s done.

Do you know a UBC humanities scholar whose work we should spotlight? Send us a note and consider nominating them for our Public Humanities Hub Public Engagement Award.
