How can our work be interesting, useful, and meaningful to the public?
How does working with the public make our work better?
![Page 3: The Humanities: Public, Open, Applied & Engaged](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558aa0a2d8b42a896a8b4569/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The public cares about the humanities...
But they don’t care as much about the work of academic humanists
![Page 4: The Humanities: Public, Open, Applied & Engaged](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558aa0a2d8b42a896a8b4569/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Academic humanists need to talk to each other...
That’s necessary, but not sufficient. We gain from working with the public, too.
