For Faculty
The following is a list of research and funding opportunities for UW-Madison faculty working in the humanities and humanistic social sciences.
Faculty Development Seminars
Designed to enhance the quality of humanities research at UW-Madison and to promote sustained collaboration and dialogue across disciplinary lines, the Center for the Humanities and Institute for Research in the Humanities (with major support from the Dean of the College of Letters and Sciences) inaugurated Faculty Development Seminars in the Humanities in the spring of 2007.
A.W. Mellon Workshops
Now in their twelfth year, the Center’s A.W.Mellon Foundation workshops are interdisciplinary study/discussion groups centered on a broadly conceived theme. The workshops are designed and led by members of the UW-Madison faculty and/or academic staff and have freedom to define the nature of their activities. Many of the range of activities and programs presented by each workshop are open to UW-Madison faculty, staff, and students.
First Book
The First Book program is open to all tenure-track, junior faculty in the humanities and interpretive social sciences with manuscripts that are near completion, but still in a position to benefit from review. The goal is to turn solid and promising manuscripts into first-rate books.
