SUMMARY:PhD+ Workshop - Grants and Fellowships
DESCRIPTION:Grants and Fellowships for Humanities Scholars \nLearn how to make your fellowship and grant proposals competitive to a wide range of selection committees. We’ll discuss what does and does not need to be in a research proposal\, the proper tone and form\, and ways to tease out the larger stakes of individual research projects and avoid the jargon of field-specific descriptions. This session will help you craft a research proposal that appeals to a broad academic audience. It will also be an opportunity for graduate students to learn about The Humanities Institute’s funding resources as well as strategies for acquiring extramural support. \nThe workshop will be led by Pranav Anand (THI Faculty Director and Professor of Linguistics)\, Banu Bargu (THI Steering Committee Member and Professor of History of Consciousness)\, and Saskia Nauenberg Dunkell (THI Research Programs and Communications Director). \n  \nPlease RSVP using your UCSC email address: \nLoading… \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series
