Description
The Collaborative Humanities Labs program at Brown University's Cogut Institute for the Humanities supports innovative, three-year research initiatives that bring together faculty from different disciplines to address significant and emerging questions in the humanities. The labs are designed to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, generate new forms of knowledge, and promote academic dialogue. Each lab involves a pair of faculty leaders (with at least one from the humanities), opportunities for student involvement, collaborative teaching, and public-facing activities. The program provides substantial funding and administrative support to enable ambitious research, programming, and publication efforts.
