1. White Paper Report

• What contexts and concepts did you find working through the topics?
• What were your main findings re: narratives of the humanities? What topics appeared often? What did those topics intersect with? At what points did the humanities play a background role to other topics?
• Based on your findings, what are your main recommendations? How should humanists "speak back" to the narratives that are being constructed?

2. Project Ideas for Spring Quarter 

• How should we implement your recommendations? What specific ideas do you have for projects coming out of the white paper?
• What would the time frame be on these projects? Would they be implementable within the space of a single quarter?
• What materials (tools, packages, etc.) would you need to complete your projects?
