Description
Ohio State University’s Global Arts + Humanities (GAH) offers Graduate Professional Development Grants to develop the professional skills of students in MFA, DMA, and PhD programs. The grants embed graduate students in university entities or initiatives conducting cross-disciplinary arts and humanities research and creative work, educational programming, or community engagement. Structured mentoring guides students’ participation, demonstrates best practices and achievement expectations, and develops practice-based skills.
Supported positions combine meaningful project contributions with professional development relevant to academic and alternative-academic careers. Projects may produce performances, podcasts, videos, blogs, websites, catalogues, databases, publications, or curricula. The program advances GAH’s mission to affirm the arts and humanities’ importance in understanding, representing, and addressing global concerns while building an engaged research and learning community.
