Reimagining the University: Race + Art Call for Proposals

Reimagining the University: Race + Art Call- APPLY HERE

INFO SESSION RECORDING

The Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture (CSRPC) seeks proposals from artists, cultural workers, scholars, students and community members exploring the theme of Reimagining the University: Race + Arts as it relates to our mission to be a hub of research and an incubator of anti-racist practice.   How can we investigate and intervene in the systems of white supremacy and racism we all inhabit using the lens and practices of the arts, creativity, and humanistic inquiry?  

Proposals may be event- or project-based; provide seed-funding for longer term research; instigate public dialogue and community engagement on- or off-campus; enhance teaching, research and knowledge creation;  among other formats.  

All proposals should align with CSRPC’s vision: 

CSRPC is a hub of research and an incubator of anti-racist practice. We advance scholarship, arts and public dialogue about the centrality of race and racism in the systems we inhabit.

 

We believe in the possibilities of:

  • A just campus, city and world
  • People working across disciplines, intersecting identities, geographies and ways of knowing

  • Relationships where everyone is both student and teacher

  • Spaces of growth, compassion, respect, freedom and joy

 

Funding amounts available: Up to $2500 for individual projects; up to $5000 for group projects.

Application Deadline Extended:  Applications are due by 5:00 pm on Monday, April 15, 2024.

 

PLEASE NOTE: All funds must be used by November 1, 2024.
