UAHC Co-Sponsorship Request
The University of Arkansas Humanities Center has a budget of $3000 per semester to offers co-sponsorships for workshops, talks, and events. Events must be related to humanities research.
According to the 1965 National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act, “The term 'humanities' includes, but is not limited to, the study and interpretation of the following: language, both modern and classical; linguistics; literature; history; jurisprudence; philosophy; archaeology; comparative religion; ethics; the history, criticism and theory of the arts; those aspects of the social sciences which have humanistic content and employ humanistic methods; and the study and application of the humanities to the human environment with particular attention to reflecting our diverse heritage, traditions, and history and to the relevance of the humanities to the current conditions of national life.”
Priority will be given to support events that cross disciplinary constituencies, serve across communities of students, faculty, and the region, and promote the core research mission of the center.
Requests for up to $500 can be made by emailing the following information to uahc@uark.edu:
- title for the event
- participants
- intended venue
- intended audience
- publicity plan with targets and timeline (please see Fulbright guidelines)
- A budget for the event.
- A current curriculum vita for organizer(s) and/or hosted speaker
- UAHC Steering Committee Members are eligible for this award but cannot serve on the sub-committee.
The UAHC does not have staff. Organization of events, including securing space, travel provisions, catering, and publicity, are the responsibility of event organizers.
The UAHC cannot transfer funds to a RIF account but can reimburse for expenses after an event with presentation of approved receipts.
