Research development is a core component of the Humanities Center's mission to spark new knowledge, launch vibrant intellectual communities and inspire conversations that matter. In the last five years, our Ph.D. students have been awarded Fulbright-Hays fellowships for China and Brazil, the ACLS/Luce Fellowship in American Art, the ACLS/Mellon Dissertation Completion Fellowship, three American Association of University Women dissertation fellowships and other nationally prestigious fellowships.
In addition, Amanda Swain, Executive Director, can assist with finding funding opportunities, drafting proposal materials and planning when to apply for external funding. Contact Amanda at ajswain@uci.edu or schedule an appointment (Zoom or in person).
