Event Fund

WIHR welcomes applications for events at which research will be shared out: e.g., for bringing in visiting speakers or for book launches if they involve talks/roundtables. Performances, film screenings, etc. will only be funded if they include explicit discussions of craft/research. Events should be open to all interested UW Humanities faculty (and students and community members if appropriate).

Funds are awarded on competitive basis; a call for applications will be made every other month.

Applications will be evaluated on the following criteria: Relevance to important issues in the Humanities; research being shared out at the event; clarity of event plan. Applications should include a clear description of the event, the research being shared out, and desired outcomes (1-2 pgs.), as well as a detailed budget.

We will consider funding space needs, refreshments, honoraria, travel costs for visiting speakers, costs for recording/casting, and other related expenses. Please indicate in your budget if you have funding from other sources (and if so, how much).

Maximum award: $1500
