HILL supports place-based social justice research from undergraduate students invested in the humanities and working on topics related to the themes of location and dislocation. There are four total summer research stipends for summer 2022, each totaling $4,500.
These stipends are available for two types of projects:
Student/Faculty Collaborative Summer Research
This stipend will allow students with a newly developing interest in place-based learning to spend their summer collaborating with faculty on a project, campus initiative, or co-authored article.
Senior Integrated Project (SIP) Summer Research
In 2022 this stipend will allow students to design and conduct a research project on a theme or topic connected to location/dislocation for their required Senior Integrated Project in New Orleans. Students will submit a research proposal and a letter of recommendation from the student’s SIP advisor.
Eligibility
Recipients of these grants must spend a minimum of six weeks in New Orleans and submit a research log at the beginning of Fall 2022. Additionally, recipients must present their research at the Social Justice Research Symposium in Spring 2023 and commit to produce materials for the HILL Digital Humanities Website.
