Humanities and The Sunshine State
Partnerships: UF Center for the Humanities. Funded by Rothman Endowment of the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere, Florida Humanities Council (grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities), UF College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
The Humanities and the Sunshine state program introduces students to humanities research. Through practicing archival study, oral history, digital curation, archaeological excavation, ethical critique, and textual interpretation, students will learn what the humanities do, and how the lessons they generate build an informed citizenry. Through engaging and hands on activities, participants will explore how water has shaped the past and present of Florida, and how our interactions with water today will shape the future of our state.
Floridians have an extensive relationship with water. From the food we eat, to our favorite pastimes, to the industries that flourish here, to our changing and diverse population, Florida’s most significant issues are tied to water. Through an introduction to how various humanities disciplines study water, Humanities and the Sunshine State will explore contemporary political topics such as tourism, food justice, aquifer sustainability, industrial growth, and race relations.
