Professor Pablo Gomez, in collaboration with Adriana Chira from Emory University, was awarded a highly competitive National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) collaborative grant for his project “Value, Self-Worth, and the Market in the Black Spanish Caribbean in the Age of Slavery.” This grant, whose final product will be a monograph, was one of only two NEH grants awarded to Wisconsin-based universities this cycle.
The NEH supported 280 humanities projects across the country with $41.3 million in grants. According to the NEH website, these grants “will support vital humanities education, research, preservation, and public programs.”
