Funding Opportunity
2023 update: Please note modified terms of award.
The Collaborative Humanities Course Award supports the development of team-taught, research-based undergraduate courses on a theme, method, practice, or problem that has relevance across disciplines, divisions, or schools.
Proposed courses should 1) advance important areas of cross-disciplinary research, including but not limited to the themes of Building on Distinction; 2) build on and expand the instructors’ respective research agendas, engaging students in knowledge production; and 3) centrally include a collaborative component in the course requirements, typically some form of group work or collaborative projects by student teams.
Awards are in the amount of $10,000 per faculty member, to be disbursed as research funds. Once selections are made, additional funding up to $10,000 may also be provided upon request for course development and support (including modest research assistantships and course programming funds).
We invite proposals either for one-time offerings or for courses that might develop into regular offerings. In most cases, courses are listed or double-listed by the faculty’s departments and cross-listed by the Cogut Institute in the HMAN 0700 or 1400 series.
The Collaborative Humanities Course Award is part of the Collaborative Humanities Initiative.
