Four faculty members from the School of Literatures, Cultures & Linguistics have received Summer Faculty Fellowships from the Humanities Research Institute for 2024. These fellowships are designed to help faculty maximize the summer in service of their ongoing professional development. They provide an infusion of resources to jump start or fuel an ongoing research project, undertake course development, or pursue a professional training opportunity over the summer months.
