Humanities, located in the university’s Arts and Humanities Building, to
support scholarly research and collaborative programming in the areas of
global, public, and digital humanities.
This proposal seeks NEH funding
to support construction costs of a new home for the Institute of Arts and
Humanities on the 6th floor of a brand new Arts and Humanities Building to be
completed in 2020-21. The Institute of Arts and Humanities launched in 2016-17
connects 15 interdisciplinary programs and centers and it is currently constrained
by space limitations. Under the banner of the Institute of Arts and Humanities,
curricula will be revised, interdisciplinary collaborations undertaken and
high-quality scholarly research completed with programs initiated in the areas
of global, public and digital humanities. The institute will bring visibility
to the humanities on a largely STEM campus, attracting top-caliber scholars,
graduate students and undergraduate majors in the humanities. Additionally,
off-campus visitors and the greater community will find this new location
easily accessible to the many public programs being offered. |
