Seed Grants for Humanities Without Walls Grand Challenge

An Open Conversation about Methodologies of Reciprocity and Redistribution

Feb 19 2:00 pm  

Since its inception, the Humanities Without Walls Consortium has asked humanists to think across and against the grain of disciplinary and institutional boundaries.  Through two previous cycles of Grand Challenge grantmaking, HWW has pushed scholars to scale up their thinking,  to experiment with forms of collaborative knowledge-making that move beyond monologic and monographic authority.  Methodologies of Reciprocity and Redistribution, the third Humanities Grand Challenge, invites deliberate consideration of the aims and ethics of research, teaching, circulation, dissemination and reconstruction of knowledge in the humanities. 
 
HWW describes reciprocity and redistribution as methods, strategies and practices that shift the weight of academic hierarchy, reconfigure the design and direction of research projects, explore the roles of multiple subjects, stakeholders and audiences, and question conventional distributions of expertise, participation, resources, outcomes and rewards.  HWW seeks projects that aim at “equity-based change by design,” building in “a strategic commitment to imagining and doing academic work more inclusively—with universal access, social equity and racial diversity always front of mind.”
