Let's congratulate Prof. Fornoff for another outstanding achievement!
The Humanities Research Institute (HRI) announced the inaugural Interseminars project, entitled "Imagining Otherwise: Speculation in the Americas," and led by our own Prof. Carolyn Fornoff in conjunction with Prof. Josue David Cisneros of the Department of Communication and Prof. Patrick Earl Hammie of the School of Art and Design.
Funded by a $2,000,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Interseminars Initiative will fund three such projects over three successive years, each selected through a competitive application process. This initiative represents the latest thinking on how best to practice a genuinely collaborative and equitable commitment to graduate training in the public research university of the 21st century.
In Interseminars, faculty and graduate students have the opportunity to collaborate in the design of cross-departmental and cross-college courses, with funding for key aspects of that work: co-curricular programming, shared research experiences and fellowship support for students, particularly those historically underrepresented in higher education.
