The IHC welcomes applications from UCSB humanities graduate students for the UC Humanities Research Institute's new California Humanities Scholars Program.  The purpose of the California Humanities Scholars Program is to recognize graduate students working across the broad range of humanities at the University of California and to use their collective expertise, interests and collaborative energy to create a dynamic and interactive virtual network.  California Humanities Scholars will be “Citizen Journalists,” reporting on the work happening on their campuses and in their various communities by blogging, tweeting, vlogging, podcasting and other forms of online networking.  The California Humanities Scholars will orchestrate a regular discussion forum on the UC Humanities Network website (currently under development).  Open to all, these forums will offer insights and exchanges on a broad range of issues related to the humanities.
