Are you a Ph.D. student in the humanities or social sciences looking for outside money? Are you trying to figure out how to fund a research trip or a write-up year?  If so, then come to this virtual information session run by IASH Director Wendy Wall.  Many archives, research centers and philanthropic foundations offer grants to Ph.D. candidates, but to be competitive you need to plan ahead--and summer is a great time to begin. We will review strategies for finding outside grants, crafting a compelling application, and lining up recommenders, so you have a head start going into the fall. 

Looking for outside funding? IASH now provides links to searchable databases of external fellowships and grants, as well as tips to grant proposal and prospectus writing. Just go to the "Funding" page on this website.

Congratulations to Giovanna Montenegro, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Romance Languages, for winning an NEH Fellowship for her project entitled “Subverting Colonial Fantasies: Maroon and Indigenous Environmental Resistance in Suriname and the Guianas”! Prof. Montenegro is a former IASH Fellow and a past participant in our NEH Grant-Writing Circles.

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.
