In light of ongoing travel restrictions, the Humanities Research Center will award competitive grants of up to $5,000 to remotely host lectures, symposia, or speaker series during Summer and Fall 2020. These awards are intended to spark programming in areas that do not fit within departmental structures, help develop innovative paradigms for conducting humanities research, or ask new questions within existing paradigms.
Eligibility:
Faculty in the humanities, or faculty engaged in humanistic research broadly construed, are eligible to apply. Collaborations across departments are encouraged and if more than one person is applying, please designate a single faculty member as the primary applicant for administrative purposes. Preference will be given to proposals that are likely to lead to further collaborations and involve student participation.

-
Symposium, lecture, or speaker series title
