The Davis Humanities Institute honors the UC Davis scholars who are committed to public scholarship in these unprecedented times and share some of the challenges and responses of our community-engaged researchers. 

Hannah Adamy, a 2019 Mellon Public Scholar, spent her summer creating spaces for women and gender-expansive musicians in Sacramento to come together and jam. In the search to bring people together as jam participants, Adamy learned about the different needs of different musicians and the practical challenges of musical spaces.
