About
Since 2009, Imagining America (IA) supports UF faculty, staff, and students working in the arts, humanities, and design to explore how scholarship and teaching can advance the radical inclusion and democratic practices necessary for responsible community engagement by higher education.
IA offers multiple resources: as a scholarly society for faculty and students doing civically-engaged work to find legitimacy in a peer-reviewed environment; as a working group to share and disseminate best practice for building campus-community partnerships that contribute to local civic life; and in offering national opportunities for universities to converse and develop collaborative proposals.
All UF faculty and graduate students are invited to participate in Imagining America, e.g., by attending or presenting work at the annual conference, participating in funded research collaboratories, contributing to IA blogs and podcasts, or applying for student fellowships.
Membership
UF’s membership in IA is made possible by the Office of the Provost. The current UF institutional representatives to Imagining America are: Dr. Sophia Acord (Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere) and Prof. Katerie Gladdys (School of Art + Art History).
