UCHRI is pleased to announce our fall awards, which will fund humanities projects in the 2018–19 academic year. This funding will support UC faculty and graduate students conducting interdisciplinary work in the humanities, including conferences, digital humanities projects, and short-term residencies. UCHRI also awarded dissertation grants to graduate students.
The awards were determined in conjunction with UCHRI’s 10-member Advisory Committee, which met in January and will hold a second selection meeting in April to award UCHRI’s spring grant offerings. A separate advisory committee will also meet in April to select the eight faculty recipients of the UC President’s Faculty Research Fellowship, a grant that supports compelling humanities research for individual UC faculty members.
The full list of awardees is available below. For open calls, please see our grants page.
