Two University of Iowa graduate students have been named as Humanities Without Walls consortium 2018 pre-doctoral workshop fellows. Lydia Maunz-Breese (English, CLAS) and Makayla Steiner (English, CLAS) will be among 30 students from the consortium who will participate in a three-week career diversity workshop in Chicago.
Humanities Without Walls, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is a consortium of 15 institutions across the Midwest and beyond. The Obermann Center for Advanced Studies is the institutional home for the University of Iowa. The consortium supports two main initiatives: summer workshops for pre-doctoral students in the humanities who intend to pursue careers outside the academy and funding cross-institutional research teams.
