Description
The Brett de Bary Interdisciplinary Writing Groups program, offered by Cornell University’s Society for the Humanities, provides funding for collaborative writing and publication projects in the humanities. The initiative is designed to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and research by supporting groups of faculty and graduate students from at least two different humanities departments whose scholarly interests intersect. Over the course of an academic year, each group meets regularly to present and discuss works-in-progress, aiming to enrich research through substantive feedback and collective engagement. Funds may also support activities such as hosting visiting scholars or manuscript preparation, all with the goal of advancing collaborative scholarship.
