New Humanities Resources

The Humanities Institute has recently launched a new reference page for faculty and graduate students seeking external funding opportunities. Included are notes from the Institute's Grant Writing Workshop and a detailed index of major fellowships, grants, and awards. The Institute has also launched a Facebook page where news about upcoming humanities events will be posted.

Spring Events

This Spring, the Humanities Institute was proud to host two major events. On January 23, we celebrated UConn humanities scholars at the fourth biennial Authors Reception, which recognized the 61 faculty-members who together authored and edited 85 books between 2009 and 2011.

On March 30, our eleventh annual interdisciplinary research conference, Knowledge Produced, Challenged, Transformed, convened at the Student Union, featuring presentations by our fifteen residential fellows, comments by Joshua Schechter and Carolyn Dean of Brown University, Thomas Augst and Patricia Crain of New York University, and Andrew Delbanco of Columbia University, and a keynote address by Peter Brooks, Sterling Professor of Comparative Literature Emeritus at Yale University and currently Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Scholar at Princeton University. For a list of the papers presented, click here.
