The Center for the Advancement of the Humanities and the Humanities Without Walls (HWW) consortium will host an information session on Monday, Dec. 7, at 4 p.m.
The conversation and information session will discuss a new grant for Marquette faculty, graduate students and community partners.
This session will introduce the HWW “Grand Research Challenge” grants, which will provide up to $150,000 for humanities based, interdisciplinary and community engaged research projects. These grants seek to deploy humanistic solutions to some of society’s most pressing issues.
Antoinette Burton, principal investigator for the HWW consortium and director of the Humanities Research Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will lead this information session and answer questions.
Register via Zoom. Participants can submit questions in advance.
With additional questions or concerns about HWW, the GRC grants or this event, email Maggie Nettesheim Hoffmann, director of the Career Diversity Initiative at Marquette, or Jason Mierek, director of operations for HWW.
