Voices and Experiences of Poverty – A New Interdisciplinary Humanities Curriculum

Voices and Experiences of Poverty—A New Interdisciplinary Humanities Curriculum is a project organized by Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) faculty that aims to bring humanities materials about poverty into classrooms across the curriculum. This multi-year project, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), will seed and create a new interdisciplinary curriculum with a poverty focus, in which the critical study of humanistic texts and documents about poverty inspire our students to explore their own sense of purpose, reflect on their learning, and draw parallels with their life experiences.
