This past summer, Professors Patricia Vergara and Nigel Hatton have led our Mellon-funded public humanities projects, each with teams of four graduate students, focused on engaging our local communities through humanities research. They will be launching public
programming this fall as well, including <b>an exhibit, a performance, a symposium, and an archive on Calisphere</b>. Their respective projects are "<b>Soundscapes of Merced</b>" and "<b>Prisons, Universities, and the Public</b>." Please watch for future
announcements related to their public programs. </div>
