Reading Groups
2018
In 2018, The Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere, with the support of the Robert and Margaret Rothman Endowment for the Humanities, offered an inaugural funding opportunity for reading groups in the humanities. Groups use this as an opportunity for scholarly exchange on a shared topic of interest related to the humanities. Their long-term goals may include exploring the possibilities of a shared research agenda, deepening interdisciplinary knowledge, learning from one another, organizing a symposium, and developing future grant proposals. This program allows participants from across the campus and beyond to explore complex issues at a moment when cross-disciplinary collaboration is crucial to address shifting domains of knowledge and a rapidly changing world.
