What is "Publicly Active Graduate Education"? How does our academic scholarship activate our civic engagement, and vice versa? When theory and practice unite in community-based projects led by graduate students, what are the implications—for graduate students, for the communities involved, and for graduate education?
Every year, Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life invites graduate students in the arts, humanities, and design with a demonstrated interest in public engagement to apply to be PAGE (Publicly Active Graduate Education) Fellows at Imagining America’s national conference. Fellows attend a day-long, pre-conference “PAGE Summit” devoted to building the theoretical and practical language with which to articulate their own public scholarship; attend the general conference sessions; and have opportunities for individual mentorship with leaders in the field of public cultural practice; and are invited to participate in the conference’s poster session.
Graduate students at all stages of their MA/MFA/PhD programs have been PAGE Fellows. Fellows receive cash stipends towards the expenses of attending the conference, and have their conference registration fee waived.

2007 PAGE Fellows enjoy a conference break and more caffeine.
