*The Master’s in Public Humanities program at Brown University has since been resurrected by the Ruth J. Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery & Justice as a Master’s in Integrative Studies, providing students with an interdisciplinary exploration of issues surrounding race, decolonial practices, and social justice with specific references to cultural work in museums and other cultural organizations.
