content: These files are various versions of Karp's paper "Public Scholarship as a Vocation" and associated notes and resources. Karp presented variations of this in different contexts (and in different lengths – long, medium, short). It was likely first written when he gave a keynote address for the Museums New Zealand conference in 1996, later published as part of their conference proceedings. The last version of it was recast in relation to issues around the public humanities for a visit to Colgate University arranged by the Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry at Emory and the humanities center at Colgate. That essay was published in a special issue of Arts and Humanities in Higher Education (Kratz filled in citations and completed page proofs and final edits posthumously). Other files are the varied introductions that Karp wrote for different presentations, comments received when he presented it in Jerusalem. Karp also included in this folder two files found elsewhere that relate to the notion of public scholarship: Karp and Kratz's proposal for the Emory-internal Collaborative Research in the Humanities (CRITH) and Karp's 1996 proposal to Rockefeller for the humanities residency program (also found in folders "Emory\CSPS" and "Emory\CSPS\RFProposal").
