Humanities Project proposals due
To foster conversations across discipline and department boundaries, faculty and staff are invited to submit Humanities Project proposals for the academic year 2008.
Funded by President Seligman, the annual grants promote humanistic studies at the University. Applicants are urged to submit projects that showcase innovative research and alternative perspectives, including initiatives that increase the faculty’s profile while fortifying intellectual communities. Projects involving or expanding awareness of research in the areas of Asian studies, globalization, and digital humanities are particularly sought, but proposals focused on other areas will be considered as well. Small grants may be awarded for curricular initiatives that foster cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary research at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
The Humanities Project is currently governed by the chairs of departments in the humanities and humanistic social sciences and the senior associate dean of humanities.
