UCHRI Announces its 2019-20 Grantees
UCHRI’s Advisory Committee has selected the first round of humanities grantees for the 2019-20 academic year. Over $100,000 in grant funds will support multi-campus collaborations for a variety of endeavors including conferences, digital humanities visualization projects, and workshops to develop faculty manuscripts. Grantees represent nine UC campuses, and hail from a range of departments such as Theatre and Dance, Anthropology, History, Philosophy, Law, Classics, Music, Literature, and Cinema and Digital Media. Representing excellence in the humanities, research topics span spatial and temporal contexts, including multilingual theater performances in Early Modern Italy, the epistemology of conspiracy theories, a community history of San Diego, resistance under slavery in the Caribbean, Spanish spiritual conquest of the Philippines, cartography in 19th century Lagos, and atmospheric politics in contemporary China.
Congratulations to our first group of 2019-20 grantees. Announcements for the Graduate Student Dissertation Support Grant and the Residential Research Group on Civil War are forthcoming.
