Imagining, studying, and enacting a more just and liberatory “America”

The Imagining America consortium brings together scholars, artists, designers, humanists, and organizers.

Working across institutional, disciplinary, and community divides, IA strengthens and promotes public scholarship, cultural organizing, and campus change that inspires collective imagination, knowledge-making, and civic action on pressing public issues.
