Remote Lectures, Symposia, and Speaker Series

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 Fall 2020 and Spring 2021. 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.

Deadlines:

Friday, September 25, 2020
Friday, January 29, 2021

Eligibility:

Faculty and Graduate Students in the humanities, or 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.
