Join humanities center director Stephanie Kirk, professor of Spanish, comparative literature, and women, gender, and sexuality studies; and Laura Perry, the center’s assistant director for research and public engagement, in gathering with leading humanists and advocating for the humanities on Capitol Hill!
On March 10–12, the National Humanities Alliance will host its annual meeting and Humanities Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C. The Center for the Humanities is sponsoring up to three graduate students’ participation in this event (travel, lodging, registration, per diem). WashU’s participants will receive advocacy training and collaborate with members of their advocacy group before meeting with their state’s members of Congress on Capitol Hill.
After the event, participating graduate students will also collaborate on a short written reflection about the experience for publication, with guidance from center staff.
Graduate students in good standing from any humanities discipline at WashU may apply. ABD preferred but not required.
Applications are now closed.
Contact Laura Perry with questions.
