The IHRC has been an incubator for curriculum innovation and public humanities outreach since its establishment in 2009,
providing seed grants to support interdisciplinary team-teaching as
well as collaborative projects resulting in the establishment of new
undergraduate minors (e.g., Environmental Humanities, Game Studies, the
re-design of the Disability Studies minor), and inter-arts
collaborations resulting in performances and exhibitions as well as
scholarship and K12 outreach.
The IHRC supports:
- creative, intellectually ambitious course development and curriculum
innovations designed to bring cutting-edge research into the classroom
to engage more undergraduates in humanities research and more graduate
students and faculty in interdisciplinary practices;
- multidisciplinary research collaborations and research-related
special events programming that are anchored in but not limited to the
humanities;
- maintains a strong focus on digital platforms for the dissemination of, and public engagement with, research
- collaborative collections-based research projects that foster public
and digital humanities skills that are in high demand within the
academy and transferable to a broader range of careers involving
humanities research, education, and advocacy.
Faculty awarded IHRC grants are expected to avail themselves of CTAL resources throughout the process. CTAL can review pre-submitted applications. The IHRC encourages all faculty to discuss curricular design goals before submitting a grant application. Please contact the IHRC for more information on our collaboration with CTAL.
