This Project Grant award of $146,645 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (CFDA 45.162 - Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development) supports a three-year initiative by Monmouth College, a private liberal arts college in Illinois, to develop new pedagogical approaches for exploring the ethical, historical, and cultural impacts of "place" and "displacement" in West Central Illinois. The project, titled "Resituating the Humanities in Place-Based Learning," aims to create a set of curricular resources and hands-on learning experiences that help students and local community members better understand the humanities-based perspectives on issues of place and displacement in the region. Monmouth College is leading this work with the Monmouth College Alumni Association as the primary awardee, with the project period running from August 2024 to July 2027.
