The University of California, Santa Barbara received a $150,000 Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities under the Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development program. The grant will support the development, implementation, and evaluation of new minors in Medical Humanities and Legal Humanities over a three-year period from February 2023 to January 2026. Key activities include convening faculty cohorts, designing curricular content and new gateway courses, and revising 14 additional upper-division courses. The university will also host co-curricular events such as a speaker series to engage students and faculty on health and justice topics and demonstrate connections between the two minors. The project aims to create inclusive and equitable humanities curricula addressing issues in higher education by linking humanities skills to pre-professional fields of medicine and law.
