Test - About HWW Alternate
Humanities Without Walls
We are a consortium of humanities centers at sixteen research universities throughout the Midwest and beyond, a large-scale experiment in collaboration as a dynamic scholarly practice. HWW was established in 2014 with the generous support of the Mellon Foundation and is based at the Humanities Research Institute.
About Humanities Without Walls
We aim to create new avenues for collaborative research, teaching, and the production of scholarship in the humanities, forging and sustaining areas of inquiry that cannot be created or maintained without cross-institutional cooperation.
INITIAL GRANT
Established in 2014 with the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, Through a variety of programs for faculty and graduate students, HWW aims to create new avenues for collaborative and interdisciplinary research, publicly engaged scholarship, and professional opportunities for graduate students.
GRANT RENEWAL
With our second renewal of the HWW grant in 2020, drawing on five years of experience with multi-institutional partnership in research and graduate training, we commit ourselves to strategic goals which center methods of redistribution and reciprocity. With this approach, we aim to disrupt the porous boundary between the academy and "the world" through collaborative partnerships that are ethical and equitable by design.
Through the work of our programs, HWW prioritizes accessibility to education for people who have historically been denied access, student-centered graduate education that places values discernment at the heart of career exploration, and redistribution of university resources to the publics they serve.
