Every summer, the Humanities Institute funds several competitive Summer Writing Grants for university faculty working in the humanities to complete or make significant progress on a manuscript for a monograph that is either under contract or in which a publisher has indicated written interest. Applications are open to all full-time faculty. One of the grant’s requirements for faculty recipients is to give a public presentation on their writing projects during the academic year following the summer they received the grant.

Throughout the Spring 2023 semester, recipients of Summer 2022 Writing Grants will give public presentations on their research and writing projects. Please join us on the following dates. If you have any questions, contact Aimee Mepham, HI Associate Director at mephamam@wfu.edu.
