Collaborative Goals

This group aims to:

  • Identify and develop best practices for advancing humanities research at our respective institutions
  • Share tools and resources for humanities research development professionals in central research offices, advancement units, academic affairs units, and school- or college-level offices
  • Provide opportunities for professional development
  • Provide a place for support and reflection, where participants can share their challenges and leverage collective accountability when pursuing goals.

* A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who “share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.” Wenger-Trayner, E. and Wenger-Trayner, B. (2015)
