The Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab (WPHL) serves as FIU’s hub for public-facing humanities research, teaching and engagement. Our lab uses FIU’s status as an urban research institution and its strategic location in Miami to capture and magnify the creative, scholarly and pedagogical expertise of faculty, staff and students who are committed to doing public-facing work.
Miami Studies Program
The WPHL is building a robust Miami Studies Program that includes new curriculum, training, workshops, internships, programming and events, and much more. This initiative is generously funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).
The Miami Studies Programs intersects with and complements many of our ongoing projects and initiatives.
