Humanities Commons
Welcome to Humanities Commons, the sharing and collaboration network for people working in and around the humanities. Discover the latest open-access scholarship and teaching materials, make interdisciplinary connections, build a WordPress Web site, and increase the impact of your work by sharing it in the repository. Brought to you by the MLA.
Humanities Commons is a trusted, nonprofit network where
humanities scholars can create a professional profile, discuss common
interests, develop new publications, and share their work. The Humanities Commons network is open to anyone.
Humanities Commons is a project of the office of scholarly
communication at the Modern Language Association. Its development was
generously funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Humanities Commons is based on the open-source Commons-in-a-Box project of the City University of New York and the CUNY Graduate Center and is an expansion of the MLA’s MLA Commons, which launched in January 2013. The founding partner societies of Humanities Commons are
the Association for Jewish Studies; the Association for Slavic, East
European, and Eurasian Studies; and the College Art Association. Each
society has its own Commons hub.
Humanities Commons was designed by scholarly societies in
the humanities to serve the needs of humanists as they engage in
teaching and research that benefit the larger community. Unlike other
social and academic communities, Humanities Commons is
open-access, open-source, and nonprofit. It is focused on providing a
space to discuss, share, and store cutting-edge research and innovative
pedagogy—not on generating profits from users’ intellectual and personal
data.
The network also features an open-access repository, the Commons Open Repository Exchange. CORE allows
users to preserve their research and increase its reach by sharing it
across disciplinary, institutional, and geographic boundaries. Developed in partnership with Columbia University’s Center for Digital Research and Scholarship, CORE is underwritten by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities’ Office of Digital Humanities.
With the increasing commercialization of Academia.edu and with the chaotic nature of institutional repositories several scholarly societies have collaborated to develop Humanities Commons.
My profile is here. I have begun the process of populating it. As soon as that process is complete, I will delete my Adacemia.edu account
