The Importance of Public-Facing Work in the Humanities

Mark O'Mara: What we're really talking about, there's the training of graduate students. There's also what assistant and young professors have the opportunity to do. And then there's the kind of work that you're sort of freer to do once you get tenure. That has been less open, traditionally, I think, to mid-career and certainly younger scholars. AHA could play an interesting role in facilitating those kinds of conversations.
