Humanities IRL is a panel discussion exploring the humanities beyond the classroom, highlighting real-world applications and career paths. Join the Institute for the Humanities as we challenge the idea that the humanities is purely just an academic discipline and showcase the hands-on, dynamic potential of the humanities as a practice!

Snacks will be served! Please register to attend at https://sessions.studentlife.umich.edu/p/track/14115.

Join panelists Jason Young (Institute for the Humanities Director), Amanda Krugliak (Arts Curator and Assistant Director, Arts Programming), Michael Hickock (History Lecturer and former FBI Special Agent), and Gina Balibrera (LSA Magazine Writer & novelist) as they explore their lives in the humanities.

Topics to be discussed include:
- How can the humanities be taken from the classroom and turned into a hands-on practice?
- How can undergraduate students engage with humanities research both during their studies and in their future careers?
- How can academic experiences shape successful and fulfilling careers in the humanities?
