The Northwestern University Public Humanities Colloquium (NU Pub Hum) is a group of graduate students, faculty members, administrators, and other humanities professionals who share an interest in the public humanities, in both its theoretical articulations and practical applications. Dedicated to the premise that the humanities are essential to a just and livable society, NU Pub Hum hosts conversations and events animated by the following questions:
- What is or can be the role of the humanities in public life?
- How can we make knowledge transmission and collaboration between universities and communities more reciprocal and robust?
- Who is the “public” in public humanities ? Who are the humanists?
NU Pub Hum launched in May 2014 with a half-day symposium, “The Scholar in Public: A Symposium on Public Humanities,” which featured conversations with Matti Bunzl, then Artistic Director of the Chicago Humanities Festival, Angel Ysaguirre, Director of Illinois Humanities (then the Illinois Humanities Council), and faculty members from Northwestern and the University of Chicago.
Originally conceived as a working group for university students, faculty, and administrators, we quickly enlarged our ranks with new and veteran professionals in the public humanities. We seek to become a resource and network for humanists across Chicago to reflect on our varied practices and intersections with public life, as well as a forum for graduate students in the humanities to consider diverse applications of their training, and a voice advocating for improved relationships and understanding between the academic humanities and the humanities as practiced otherwise.
For more information, please contact our co-chairs Ruth Martin Curry (ruthmartin2019 at u dot northwestern dot edu) and Dr. Liz McCabe (lizmccabe at northwestern dot edu).

This article is about how much a person who makes $30.57 an hour and has a salary of $61140 a year. It includes details on how they make their money and what kind of benefits they receive as well as their hours, vacations, and work week.
The author starts by mentioning that an individual who earns $30.57 per hour is making roughly $61140 a year in annual income after the hours they put in per year (50 weeks * 40 hours per week * 2,000 hours). They go on to discuss what breaks the employee receives throughout the year with two weeks vacation and two days of personal time off per month that can be used for things like illness or just to take care of themselves.
