Introducing our revitalized user advisory group! | Platypus, the Humanities Commons blog

At Humanities Commons, one of our core values is cultivating community. Bringing together people with multiple perspectives and backgrounds enables us to work toward deeper collective understanding, enriching our connections to one another and to the world. In this spirit, we’re excited to announce we’re revamping our user advisory group! 

This group has existed in various forms since 2021, but we’ve decided to make a few changes to the current structure in order to create more opportunities for us to directly engage with our users. The primary goals of this group are to:

• Empower our users to have a larger say in the development of the Commons
• Create opportunities for our users to connect with our team and within the Commons community
• Communicate directly with users whose values align with those of the Commons
• Provide space for the open exchange of knowledge and ideas between the Commons team and our users
