Together with Humanities

Together with Humanities supports four summer experiences each year that grow out of the co-taught courses or course clusters.

These fellowships allow students to further their exploration of course topics beyond what is possible during the academic year. For example, students in Together with Humanities courses may use this opportunity to:

• Pursue an internship with an organization that collaborated with the course, such as the Ticha Project, Lagim Tehi Tuma, Voice of Witness, or New Sanctuary Movement
• Take an intensive summer class in the language studied during the course (e.g. American Sign Language, Persian)
• Act as a research assistant and collaborate with faculty to develop a new course for TwH, or revise an existing course to be taught differently in the future
• Create a self-designed experience that expands upon relationships or topics explored during the course, with input from the course instructor(s)

Students who receive Together with Humanities summer fellowships will participate in programming before and after the summer facilitated by the CPGC, including a preparatory half-credit course before the fellowship, followed by a half-credit course focused on summative learning and next steps after the fellowship. If you have any concerns about participating in these activities, please reach out to Lili Domenick (ldomenick [at] haverford.edu).

Funding

Together with Humanities provides a $4,000 stipend for full-summer (8-10 week) internships and experiences. Internships that are less than 8 weeks may be considered for a prorated stipend amount; be sure to consult with Lili Domenick (ldomenick [at] haverford.edu) before submitting an internship that is less than 8 weeks. Students who need additional funding to cover expected food, travel, and lodging costs in order to participate may apply for up to $2,200 beyond the regular stipend amount.
