  • 2022 Grand Research Challenge: Reciprocity and Redistribution

    The 2022 Grand Research Challenge: Reciprocity and Redistribution provides opportunities for scholars across humanities-centered disciplines to collaborate across institutions on innovative interdisciplinary projects.  The theme of the new funding cycle (extending from 2020 to 2025 ) is “Reciprocity.”  As with other HWW themes, this one can be interpreted in many ways, but researchers are encouraged to propose humanities projects that enhance our connections with communities, and/or promote distributive justice within them.
