The Imagining America consortium (IA) brings together scholars, artists, designers, humanists, and organizers to imagine, study, and enact a more just and liberatory ‘America’ and world. 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. By dreaming and building together in public, IA creates the conditions to shift culture and transform inequitable institutional and societal structures.

The Publicly Active Graduate Education (PAGE) network has been active for over 20 years, since 2003 when University of Michigan graduate student Dana Walker and then UT-Austin graduate student Sylvia Gale advanced the question, “Where was the graduate voice in conversations in public engagement?” PAGE formed with support from then IA Faculty Director Julie Ellison, and has since grown into an extensive peer network organized by a rotating cohort of PAGE Alumni who share responsibility for designing support structures for the new cohort.
