The Institute of Public Scholarship (IPS) serves as a gathering place for dialogue concerning Humanities in Action and acts as an incubator for the exchange of ideas among people in the wider community and public scholars. IPS employs the tools of “the academy” to generate just, restorative and sustainable solutions at the intersection of arts, humanities and science and serves community members seeking social, cultural, business and environmental practices to ensure a long-term cultural presence for current and past residents.
