The Humanities Seed Grants support innovative and public-oriented faculty research in the humanities—including work by scholars in allied fields like the qualitative social sciences, education, and law.
In keeping with Stanford’s university-wide focus on helping students and the public at large reimagine the human future, Public Humanities is seeking to fund projects that do one or more of the following:
- Collaborate to build new intellectual networks, answer new questions, or reach across existing fields to bring humanistic skills to bear on pressing social and environmental questions
- Engage with students and the wider community, whether local, national, or international
- Magnify impact within and beyond particular scholarly fields through either the scale and scope of questions posed or the research design and methodology
- Offer channels of research dissemination beyond the traditional scholarly monograph, such as filmed lectures, podcasts, documentaries, and exhibitions.
For questions about these faculty grants that aren't addressed on the How to Apply webpage, please e-mail Natalie Jabbar at njabbar [at] stanford.edu (njabbar[at]stanford[dot]edu).
