Supplemental Multicampus Faculty Working Group Refuge and Its Refusals Funding, 2023-24
The UCHRI Supplemental Multicampus Faculty Working Group Refuge and Its Refusals Funding grant provides financial resources to broaden and augment the support of Multicampus Faculty Working Groups engaging with the Institute’s new theme, Refuge and Its Refusals. Faculty working on themes outside of the Refuge and Its Refusals initiative are not eligible to apply for this supplement.
The purpose of the supplement is to encourage non-scholarly outcomes and extend research collaboration beyond the walls of the academy, as well as to promote wider engagement and broaden the impact of the humanities. Prospective PIs who are working on topics related to Refuge and Its Refusals and applying for new funding for the 2023-24 funding cycle are eligible to apply for the supplement, which can be used to support public engagement, community collaboration, pedagogical initiatives, or other activities and outcomes outside of traditional scholarly publications.
Some possible outcomes may include creative responses such as exhibitions, interactive websites, and interpretative performances; they may be tied to activism and include documents like policy proposals or records of involvement with union work within the university; they may take the form of pedagogical recommendations and proposals for cross-campus seminars; or they may be linked to the strengthening or development of relationships with community partners.
Applications must be submitted online via Submittable by 11:59 PM (Pacific time) on the deadline date.
