The National Endowment for the Humanities awarded Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA a $149,989 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Teaching and Learning Resources and Curriculum Development program (CFDA 45.162). The grant will fund Juniata's "Explorations of Rural Experience: Fostering Narrative Imagination and Civic Curiosity" minor program from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. This interdisciplinary program will provide faculty with opportunities to develop curriculum that blends humanities approaches focused on narrative, historical context, and storytelling with social science data-driven methods to address complex rural issues like poverty. Key activities include creating interdisciplinary collaboration spaces, supporting professional development, institutionalizing experiential learning in Pennsylvania and Alabama, launching core courses and electives, establishing a rural reading group, hosting a rural poverty symposium, developing a digital humanities hub for student research, and supporting a research assistantship.
