Belt Magazine
Belt Magazine is a digital publication by and for the Rust Belt and greater Midwest. Founded in 2013 as an antidote to shallow, distorted representations of the region, we challenge simplistic national narratives by paying local journalists, writers, photographers, and poets to cover their communities with depth, context, and the kind of rich insight that can only come from a deep relationship with a place. Belt Magazine’s editor-in-chief is Ed Simon who is a Public Humanities Special Faculty in the English Department of Carnegie Mellon University where the publication has been housed since 2024.
The Folger Institute Consortium
A collaborative endeavor of the Folger Shakespeare Library and more than 40 universities in the U.S. and abroad, the Folger Institute’s consortium pursues its work through "resource sharing," with each member institution contributing resources to projects that no one of them can accomplish alone. Since 1970, the Folger Institute's consortium, with a history of building institutional cooperation and promoting an extensive program of scholarly activities, has taken a leading role in advancing research and teaching in the humanities.
