Discussion

Future of the Humanities Info Session (2)

08.28.2026 12:00 PM

Event Summary

The Neubauer Collegium’s Future of the Humanities initiative, supported by the MacArthur Foundation, invites applications for a small number (4-5) of one-year, experimental, collaborative research projects that explore potential futures for humanistic and/or artistic research, production, and dissemination. Grant awards will be up to $50,000.

We seek proposals for dynamic, ambitious, and innovative projects that model especially promising forms for the future of humanistic research. Projects should enact potential futures for humanistic research rather than simply discuss them. We are particularly interested in projects that propose promising modes of:

– Research and/or
– Collaboration and/or
– Dissemination to the public

We welcome proposals for projects that emphasize “epistemic pluralism,” meaning they embrace a variety of approaches to knowledge. This might include research that entails embodied, relational, or spatial forms of inquiry, alongside verbal and analytic thinking.

A link to the Zoom webinar will be sent to registrants prior to the event.
