Abstract: This award funds a one-year fellowship program in affiliated community partner dental clinics in Eau Claire and Appleton, Wisconsin.

John Professor of History, in the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences; and Patrick Kennelly, director, and Dr. Thomas Durkin, research and grant coordinator, of the Marquette Center for Peacemaking.

Abstract: This project seeks to bring together humanities experts, religious leaders and community members to spark a community conversation about the history of interfaith engagement in Milwaukee. Continuing the work of the original Muslim-Christian dialogue group that convened in Milwaukee more than four decades ago, it seeks to consider how challenges to communities that have arisen during the coronavirus crisis have been addressed by interfaith partners.


Neighborhood Entrepreneur Project
$35,000 – Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation

Nathaniel Hammons, clinical associate professor and director of the Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic in Marquette Law School.

Abstract: This project will provide critical legal support to, and educate, low- and moderate-income microentrepreneurs in Wisconsin. The goal is to address a gap in Wisconsin’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, widened by the coronavirus pandemic and racial unrest: Many neighborhood entrepreneurs have great business ideas and passion yet do not understand business law basics and cannot afford to hire a private attorney. This project will expand the Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic’s resources and outreach, including through creation of an online platform with legal information for microentrepreneurs.
