This individual grant funded my creation, development, organization, and teaching of new classes for impact-driven research in the Arts and Culture Studies MA program. The classes added a public-facing dimension to the student thesis process. Throughout the thesis development, students attended sessions on producing outputs for non-academic audiences, focusing on (1) creative outputs, (2) science communication, and (3) partner collaboration. This program was created to enrich the thesis trajectory by helping students translate their academic work into accessible, socially relevant formats, strengthening connections with wider communities.
