Faculty Seminar Grants
The Center for the Humanities is pleased to offer one-year and three-year grants to support seminars on a particular subject or theme. There is no set formula for the seminars, but they should be self-organized by the participants, have an ongoing core membership, meet at least twice per semester, and participants and guests must use the forum as a way to present and discuss informally their own work as it relates to the theme.
