Fox Center: Call for NEW Interdisciplinary Research Hubs in the Humanities

The Fox Center announces a call for new Faculty-led Interdisciplinary Research Hubs engaging critical themes and debates within Humanistic Inquiry.  Convenors are encouraged to engage faculty and students across departments/programs/schools and rank as well as participants from other Atlanta institutions.  Formats may include and/or combine pre-circulated, discussion-based seminars, works in progress, visiting scholars, workshops, panels, and modest conferences.    

Hubs may be designed as semester or year-long and may meet bi-weekly, or monthly following the academic calendar.  Gatherings may be held in the Seminar Room of the Fox Center and/or other venues across campus.   

All proposals (1-2pp) should include 1) a description of research theme and academic mission, 2) a list of participants with their affiliation, and 3) a brief outline of format and any additional activities or  events planned, and for convenor(s), any prior FCHI support received, or additional support from other sources for this proposal. Convenor(s) will receive $1,000 in research funds and funding will be provided for light refreshments and co-sponsorship for events planned.

Faculty are encouraged to be experimental, bold, and collaborative.  Faculty who have not been prior recipients of FCHI support are especially encouraged to apply.

Please send proposals to foxcenter@emory.edu, and feel free to direct queries to Carla Freeman, Director of the Fox Center.
