NEH announces $21.4 million in awards and offers for 154 humanities projects

NEH announces $21.4 million in awards and offers for 154 humanities projects

Today the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) announced $21,404,466 in grant awards and offers for 154 high quality humanities projects. Funding supports a wide variety of projects nationwide, including undergraduate course development, humanities initiatives for faculty at historically black, high Hispanic enrollment, and tribal colleges and universities, traveling exhibitions, collaborative research, scholarly editions, programming offered by state humanities councils, digitization of historic newspapers, and preservation of collections and the creation of reference resources.

“From libraries, historical societies, and museums to colleges, universities, and state humanities councils, these NEH grants will reach deeply into communities across the nation,” said NEH Acting Chairman Carole M. Watson. “Whether it is a large-scale research project undertaken by colleagues across disciplines and continents, or members of a small town or rural community discussing a local exhibit, these important projects encourage the exchange of ideas and represent the best of humanities scholarship.”

The grants announced today provide support to projects in diverse fields of the humanities. Projects receiving support will, for example, provide for the development of undergraduate courses that engage the “great questions,” such as What is justice?; support programs sponsored by state humanities councils that explore significant events and themes in American history and culture; enable libraries to host exemplary programs in the humanities; and promote advanced humanities research that contributes to scholarly knowledge and the general public’s understanding of the humanities.

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
