UCHRI WORKING GROUPS
The University of California Humanities Research Institute (UCHRI) is pleased to announce its first cohort of Working Groups for 2010-2011. Working Groups are designed to catalyze collaboration between individuals from different disciplines, locations, and campuses around a specific problem, theme, object or topic. They consist of between 5 and 15 people who will collaborate over one academic year to address a clearly defined timely issue or early stage of research on an emergent topic in the humanities. Members of the group will be connected virtually for ongoing communication and will meet face-to-face at least one time throughout the year.
