Projects

The Humanities Research Center funds a number of labs and projects from DKU and Duke faculty with a DKU connection. Please see our ongoing call for proposals.

Humanities Labs

Humanities Labs engage undergraduates in advanced research alongside faculty and graduate student mentors/collaborators from DKU and Duke. Organized around a central theme, each lab brings together at least two faculty and students from the humanities and other disciplines in interdisciplinary, vertically integrated research projects. Labs may be co-located at Duke.

Experimental Initiatives

The Humanities Research Center supports a number of faculty-led experimental initiatives through its regular calls for proposals.

Annual Conferences

The Humanities Research Center hosts two annual conferences. A fall conference showcases the research of DKU faculty. A spring conference fosters research capacity among undergraduate students.

Book Manuscript Workshops

Book Manuscript Workshops support DKU professors in the tenure and promotion process.

Research Workshops

Research Workshops support the production of an edited book or special issue of a journal by bringing researchers together for meetings on the DKU campus.
