The Mellon Humanities Collaboratory provides an opportunity for emerging humanities students from community colleges across the country to participate in an intensive and innovative summer research experience through the Mellon Humanities for All program. Students design and develop research projects in the subject areas of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Humanities Collaboratory was a pioneering pedagogical design created in 2017 with funding from the Mellon Foundation, the Leadership Alliance, and the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. It innovates a highly scalable, student-centered approach to guiding independent research through peer modeling, moving beyond the one-to-one student\/mentor model to develop undergraduates as subject experts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this model, the Collaboratory brings together students from different branches of humanities scholarship to work together constructively while pursuing individual research projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
URSCA is hosting a series of virtual info sessions on the Humanities Collaboratory and our related summer program, PATHS<\/a>. Please see our events calendar<\/a> for more information and to register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Collaboratory requires an in-person residential commitment for 10 weeks, typically from late May through early August. Participants receive a competitive summer stipend of $6,000 plus round-trip travel to Baltimore, and are housed near the Johns Hopkins campus, in community with other summer researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to research, Collaboratory scholars participate in professional development workshops and community-building activities hosted by URSCA. They also present their work at the annual Hopkins Summer Research Symposium and\/or at the Leadership Alliance National Symposium at the end of the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Applications for the 2024 program are due on December 4, 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The application consists of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\nRequirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
