Research in the Humanities Award
The biannual Research in the Humanities Award recognizes a publication that serves as testimony to the author's comprehensive grasp of the subject(s) of inquiry and research and, in turn, outstanding scholarship. The faculty member will have demonstrated outstanding research in the Humanities and will have made substantive contributions to humanistic thought through a monograph or other scholarly work published during the two years prior to the award year.
In each odd-numbered year, the Graduate School solicits nominations of Humanities faculty members in the Departments of Africology, Art History, Comparative Literature, English, Ethnic Studies, Foreign Languages and Linguistics, History, Philosophy, and Spanish and Portuguese for the award.
