Humanities Writ Large New Faculty Appointment Bridge Appointment

University Mellon Foundation Grant · 2015 Humanities Writ Large provides resources for departments to jump-start new hiring of teacher-scholars who embrace and champion our undergraduate-focused approach to humanities education and research. Such hires enable departments and programs to shift towards a new vision by bringing in skill sets and perspectives that augment our core. This resource enables Duke to infuse new forms of interdisciplinarity into our faculty, and expand our breadth and depth for teaching digital tools and visual studies in the humanities.
