Hello Humanists!

I’ve been invited to coordinate a workshop at the UCSD Center for the Humanities in late February or early March. At the workshop, I’ll cover how to search for humanities funding, some grant writing tips, timing your applications, etc. Since it’s a workshop rather than a speech, we want to have some activities for the participants (you). I have some ideas, but I’d welcome more. What would you find helpful at a workshop of this type? What information would you like me to cover? How can I best help you?

If you have ideas or requests, please comment here or email me at gradadvisor AT ucsd DOT edu.

Update: The workshop is now scheduled for Thursday, February 23, from 1:30 to 3:00. I’ll post more details at a later date.
