[Histmaj] 2025 Summer Institute for Arts and Humanities - Call for applications

[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

Historians-



This is a wonderful and FUNDED research opportunity for students that multiple History majors have done in the past.  See below.







Dear Students,



The Office of Undergraduate Research is pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2025 Summer Institute in the Arts & Humanities (SIAH)<https://www.washington.edu/undergradresearch/summer-institute-home/>! SIAH offers an opportunity for undergraduates to engage in scholarly research with accomplished scholars and peers while earning full-time academic credit. Student participants develop individual, original research ideas related to an interdisciplinary theme and formally present their work at a closing symposium.



This year’s theme is Earthworlds: Life in a Turbulent Planet, will be developed and taught by Professors Jesse Oak Taylor and Ipsita Dey along with doctoral student Andrés Ayala-Patlán:

We don’t live on Earth. We live in it. This course invites students to think about how different bodies, objects, stories, and movements make (and remake) worlds within the Earth. We will examine how planetary forces shape life here in Cascadia, on the edge of the Pacific, and how our locality is entangled with other sites and histories. Together, we will trouble distinctions between art and science, natural landscapes and human infrastructure, living creatures and inanimate elements. Course activities will blend field trips and creative practices with readings across a range of poems, essays, novels, and other media in order to extend our interpretive practices beyond the classroom, and beyond the human.

  

To learn more about the theme, teaching team, and application process, please visit our website<https://www.washington.edu/undergradresearch/summer-institute-home/>. Applications are due March 3, 2025.

We will host two information sessions for interested students on January 16th and 21st – RSVP here<https://new.expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/1312>.

We hope that you consider applying for this terrific research and learning opportunity! If you have any questions, please email us at undergradresearch at uw.edu<mailto:undergradresearch at uw.edu>.



Best,
