Initiatives Info Session (Oct 16)

CHCI will host an Initiatives online information session on October 16, 1:00-1:45pm EDT (Registration) to answer questions from interested centers and institutes. We will offer further guidelines, including the criteria that will be used for the selection of projects receiving financial support.

What are CHCI Initiatives?

Initiatives represent the next phase of CHCI’s model for humanities research collaboration. Each Initiative will convene all CHCI member centers and institutes to address together a pressing global issue through their research projects, local programming, and public engagement. CHCI will coordinate and facilitate exchange and collaboration between participants, disseminate their contributions and ideas within and beyond the CHCI membership, and leverage the work of this worldwide network to advocate for global humanities research and methods to address matters of global and urgent import.

There will be two inaugural CHCI Initiatives for 2025-2026: Global Justice and Humanities Practices and Human Craft in the Age of Digital Technologies. Both are open to all CHCI members conducting a research project or running a program related to one of those themes between January 2025 and July 2026. CHCI expects to provide financial support for up to 12 participating projects per Initiative. The deadline to apply for financial support is December 1, 2024. This is also the deadline to express interest in participating without financial support.
