Our 2025-26 @urbanhumanities Graduate Certificate program kicked off with a week-long Summer Institute exploring ”care as critical spatial practice“ with our wonderful partners at the @lapubliclibrary. Students engaged with the theories, fieldwork practices, and representational tools of urban humanities to create a ”thick map“ exploring practices, stories, and spaces of care at the library. Final thick maps and full descriptions available on our website.
