The Humanities Collaboratory is pleased to announce Dissemination Grants to two project teams: “Documenting Criminalization and Confinement” and “Expanding the Reach of the Global Feminisms Oral History Archive.” Both teams launched Collaboratory Project Grants in 2019 informed by earlier phases of development. Project Grant teams are eligible to apply for up to $25K to disseminate research outcomes during the final year of their Project Grant.
