The UC Davis Humanities Institute is proud to announce the 2022 cohort of Mellon Public Scholars (MPS). The MPS Faculty Advisory Board selected ten graduate student proposals for mutually beneficial research projects with community partners. In addition to the summer projects, the scholars will also take a preparatory spring seminar and return in the fall for a project showcase. 

This year’s cohort represents seven departments from across the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences. They have proposed a range of projects focused on Indigenous-led language recovery, Arab American Studies K-12 education, Hmong language education, Punjabi Sikh food and land practices, historic Chinese cookbooks, Quinault sound protocols, and much more.
