The Humanities Research Center awards competitive grants of up to $20,000 to host lectures, symposia, or speaker series. These grants are intended to spark programming and curricular development in areas that do not fit within departmental structures, help develop innovative paradigms for conducting humanities research, or ask new questions within existing paradigms.
