IASH

Are you a faculty member considering applying for an NEH fellowship? IASH will again be sponsoring an NEH Writing Circle to support faculty members planning to submit proposals for this year’s NEH Fellowships, Summer Stipends, and Public Scholars awards. Junior faculty are especially encouraged to attend, and all colleagues can sign up as many times as they wish. Seven participants in past circles have won NEH Awards! Other participants have credited these circles with helping them to hone their writing, present their projects to a broader audience, write sharper book proposals, and win fellowships beyond the NEH. Past members also appreciated the opportunity to make connections with, and get professional advice from, colleagues outside of their department.

This year’s circle will be led by History Professor Leigh Ann Wheeler, who has won 2 NEH Fellowships and served as an NEH reviewer. If you are interested in joining the circle, please APPLY HERE  by Wednesday, Dec. 4th, and plan to attend an initial in-person meeting during finals week.  Questions? Email Leigh Ann Wheeler or IASH Director Wendy Wall.

Confluence: Humanities in the Public Sphere is an IASH sponsored podcast that reflects a belief that scholarly work inevitably benefits from engagement with publics beyond university walls.  In each episode, we explore projects by Binghamton University faculty and graduate students that seek to inform--and learn from--diverse publics in a variety of ways. Listen to us on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple podcasts and follow us on Instagram  for regular updates!

Tune into the "Immigrants Wake America" podcast, co-hosted and co-produced by graduate students and former HNY/IASH public humanities fellows Le Li and Shruti Jain in conjunction with the Tenement Museum and Prof. Lisa Yun. Immigrants Wake America features storytellers who share stories about migration and the centrality of immigrant women in their lives. Season 2, "Hidden Heroes in a Small Town," has just been released. It focuses on the staff and caseworkers at Binghamton's American Civic Association.
