Climate Change in Historical Perspective Grants

The Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest at Villanova University is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity to support public-facing historical projects related to the theme of “Climate Change in Historical Perspective.”

The Center will fund up to five projects that creatively engage with the broad range of questions, concerns, policies and practices related to climate change, and how historical study can further public understanding of the present moment. The Center is particularly interested in funding proposals that adopt a global approach and highlight issues of class, gender, race,  activism, corporate influence and political power. We strongly encourage members of minority and underrepresented populations to apply.
