Subject: Center for Humanities Research Awarded Virginia Humanities Planning Grant

Dear Colleagues, Students, and Friends,

We are delighted to share that the Center for Humanities Research has been awarded a $10,000 planning grant from Virginia Humanities to support our public humanities project, "Alienation and Belonging: Shifting Cultural Landscapes in Northern Viginia."

Here's a short summary of the project and the Mason researchers involved:

The project emerged from conversations with a group of Mason scholars interested in Northern Virginia, who were convened as the NOVA working group. The grant proposal was co-authored by center director Alison Landsberg (professor, history/art history; cultural studies) and the center’s associate director, Catherine Olien. Gabrielle Tayac (associate professor, history/art history) and Teri Edwards-Hewitt (PhD candidate, cultural studies) are co-PIs on the project. Katharina Hering (adjunct faculty, history/art history) will serve as oral history coordinator. Mason graduate students working on the teams include John Legg (history/art history), Janine Hubai (history/aArt history), Aparna Shastri (cultural studies), and Muna Al Taweel (cultural studies).

We'll be sharing updates this summer as the project advances, and throughout the course of the next academic year as we begin to resolve what form the project outcomes and deliverables will take (and how you might participate!).

Immediate opportunities for involvement: if you are interested in joining the NOVA working group, which will continue to guide this project in an intellectual and advisory capacity (via one meeting this summer and with monthly meetings resuming in the fall semester), please email [log in to unmask] and we will add you to the listserv.

Thank you for your interest and support!

Best wishes,

Alison Landsberg (Director)
Catherine Olien (Associate Director)
