Bianet Castellanos, director of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) and professor and chair of the Department of American Studies at the University of Minnesota (UMN), is passionate about diversifying educational experiences for graduate students. So, when the former IAS director Jennifer Gunn approached her with the opportunity to host the 2023 Humanities Without Walls (HWW) Career Diversity workshop in the Twin Cities, Castellanos immediately said yes.

The Humanities Without Walls consortium selected its Fellows cohort for the 2023 Career Diversity Workshop.

Comprised of 25 PhD students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences, the Fellows represent 20 higher education institutions across the nation. The Fellows will engage in a series of workshop sessions, talks, informational interviews, and site visits, hosted on-campus by the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Please join HWW in congratulating these new fellows!

Six CLA graduate students will participate as fellows in the 2023 cohort. They join participants from 19 other schools from across the United States to engage in a series of workshop sessions, panel discussions, informational interviews, and site visits around the Twin Cities.
