the Luce Foundation project: "Developing Resilient and Integrative Humanities Research with san Joaquin Valley Communities" prioritizes the enrichment of humanities research education while facilitating the development of graduate scholar's skills, within curricular and co-curricular opportunities. In an effort to expand educational resources and add public-facing courses, workshops, and scholarship, this project will offer support for faculty via a faculty course development opportunity. Course development awards will be $1000 each (three awarded annually), for either an assigned or previously taught course with an emphasis on re-design and a proposal for a project mentor.
Faculty will be invited to participate in a summer institute and associated workshop series during the academic year to develop these signature assignments and re-design courses. The goal is to provide multiple avenues to developed new participating in community-engaged research and to develop associated curriculum. Contact with the current community engagement model and theoretical frameworks to support graduate students and communities will be emphasized as effectively and sustainably as possible.
