UCHRI Graduate Event Co-Sponsorship Grants

The gathering of scholars for the purpose of discussion and sharing research is one of the most fruitful ways to enhance the University of California’s research mission and promote new directions in scholarship. Graduate students are a critical component of intellectual life and community in the humanities, often uniquely positioned to recognize and develop emerging trends in and across fields and to imagine new strategies for sharing and promoting research. To support this work, UCHRI is inviting proposals for campus-based events planned and hosted by UC graduate students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Co-sponsorship funds provides provides partial funding and it is not meant as the primary source of event support.
