Abstract

A trend at smaller colleges and universities is reconfiguring several small departments into a single, larger department. The leadership team—undergraduate chair, graduate program director, associate dean—of a Department of Humanities in its second year, will discuss the lessons learned over one year of breaking down silos across disciplines and degree levels.

Keywords: Humanities, Social Sciences, Consolidation, Collaboration, Interdisciplinarity
