Reimagining humanities coursework for career readiness: a virtual workshop for teachers of languages and literature [the modern language association (MLA) requests $60,000 over two years to support the creation of a virtual professional development workshop series to prepare humanities instructors at small and mid-sized institutions to align humanities courses in languages and literature with career-minded outcomes that benefit underserved students. Through a workshop series for twenty faculty members from small and mid-sized institutions, MLA will demonstrate how to 1) align learning outcomes in humanities classrooms with career-minded outcomes, including skills development through humanities learning; 2) use currently available data, resources, and partnerships (both internal and external to their institutions) to strengthen career readiness and build effective connections between the classroom and applied humanities contexts; and 3) develop course designs and action plans for implementation.]
