Project Grant AA28999623

This three-year, $149,972 project grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities under the Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development program will support the development of a more robust and sustainable approach to humanities education in Wisconsin's Southern Fox Valley region. Ripon College serves as the awardee and will partner with Marian University and other community organizations to reimagine humanities instruction for the twenty-first century through visiting lectures, workshops, and regular faculty development opportunities within cross-campus faculty learning communities. The goal is to emphasize sustainability, diversity, and place-based learning to preserve and expand humanities offerings and enrollments at small liberal arts colleges. By strengthening regional networks between humanities scholars, educators, and students across multiple institutions, this initiative aims to create a more locally responsive model of humanistic inquiry.
