Faculty Research and Teaching Seed Fund: Shoots and Sprouts

This first of two roundtables features presentation by recipients of our 2017-18 seed funds. These funds, designed to foster EH collaborations and in concert with the development of a formal EH curriculum including an undergraduate minor and a graduate certificate, are awarded in increments of $3000. If you are interested in applying for future funds or in curriculum development, you will find these reports of interest. We will gather over breakfast in the Wolf Humanities Center Conference Room (Williams 623).
