Emily Callaci, assistant professor of history, and Mitra Sharafi, associate professor at the Law School, have been offered Summer Stipend awards by the National Endowment for the Humanities. This is the first time two UW–Madison nominees have been awarded NEH Summer Stipends in the same year.
“This is a very competitive program,” explains Lea Jacobs, UW–Madison associate vice chancellor for research in the arts and humanities. “UW–Madison had the opportunity to nominate two faculty for the NEH Summer Stipends 2018 competition and Emily and Mitra were chosen from a campus-wide applicant pool by a subcommittee of the Research Committee within the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education.”
