The Humanities Planning Group announces its inaugural Collaborative Research Project initiative designed to fund up to two fiscal year projects in the amount of $3500 each. These awards will provide support to self-constituted groups of faculty and students engaged in research exploring connections between diverse areas in the humanities, or investigating humanistic responses to issues in a wide variety of fields of study including the sciences, health, and commerce. These groups may designate themselves working groups, research clusters, reading groups, study seminars, or the like while participants share the goal of stimulating intellectual exchange through lectures, discussion, writing, reading, and other activities that further their inquiries into common scholarly concerns. Collaborative Research Projects will bring together groups of WSU faculty and students, as well as visiting scholars and those at other local institutions, to present their current research and otherwise explore topics of common intellectual concern.
For complete information and application guidelines, please contact Dr. Michael Hanly, [hanly@wsu.edu]. The application deadline is Friday, November 1, 2013 and awardees will be notified by November 22, 2013. Events/Activities must be completed by June 30, 2014.
