Professional Workshops

The second Workshop in Public Scholarship was held by the Melikian Center in August 2023 with 14 graduate students, faculty, and other scholars gathering to work on multi-media stories to bring their research and knowledge to the broader public. Themes include issues related to indigenous Russia; borderland lives and livelihoods; colonial legacies; or civic activism and democratic expression.

The Professional Workshop in Public Scholarship the Melikian Center hosted in September 2022 brought together ten graduate students and scholars from across the U.S., who share the interest of taking their knowledge public, to develop pieces to pitch as magazine articles, podcasts, K-12 lesson plans, short videos, and websites that drew from their particular regional expertise.  Additional workshops are in the works to provide similar hands-on opportunities in digital and multi-media storytelling, as well as a adapting scholarly research to inform policy makers.
