Call for Proposals

The Center for Humanities & the Public Sphere, with support from the Yulee Endowment and Yavitz Fund, will fund about a dozen symposia and conferences in the Humanities during for Academic Year 2007-2008. These sponsored events are intended to draw together scholars in the Humanities from across the United States and around the world for collaborative work, both disciplinary and interdisciplinary, as a mark of scholarly excellence and innovation. Over the past nine years, the Center for the Humanities has supported a variety of events, from Lecture Series occurring throughout the semester, to smaller Symposia with two or three visiting scholars over a three-day period. A complete schedule of forthcoming Symposia will be posted at this website as soon as the dates, times, and places have been determined. In the longer term, with final funding of the Rothman Endowment, the Center will continue to expand the number, frequency, and variety of sponsored events.

In May 2007 the Center for the Humanities sponsored a ‘Call for Proposals’ for Fall 2007 or Spring 2008. The next 'Call for Proposals' for Academic Year 2008-2009 will be announced at this website.
