Graduate Public Humanities Application Information Session

  • Friday, September 25, 10:30 – 11:30 AM
  • In-person option: 929 Curtin Hall, 3243 N. Downer Ave.
  • Teams option: REGISTER HERE

Master’s and Doctoral students in any discipline at UW-Milwaukee are invited to propose an event or program to the Center for 21st Century Studies for the Spring 2027 semester. Selected submissions will be developed in collaboration with C21 staff and will be provided with a working budget of $1,000. This event programming offers a hands-on opportunity that will make a strong addition to any graduate CV. Applications may be submitted by individual students or groups. C21 reserves the right to have final approval of all projects. All project proposals MUST include a public-facing component or other tangible final deliverable that will be enacted, presented, or disseminated on C21’s Day of Action, a day of events celebrating the Slow Action theme, slated for May 8, 2027.

C21 is seeking proposals that take up the theme of Slow Action – a mode of engagement that purposefully resists the logic of zero-sum efficiency in favor of durable, values-rooted ways of being and doing together. The theme invites graduates to investigate critical questions surrounding forms of action that are not rigid or unchangeable but rather are flexible, responsive, and deeply attuned to the world we each move through. While strikes, protests, and other visible forms of collective action capture immediate public attention, they are made possible only by the slower, less visible work of building trust, forming coalitions, and sustaining shared commitments across time. It is this foundational labor – patient, relational, and often unrecognized – that Slow Action seeks to illuminate. Learn more about how to apply.

C21 will host a hybrid information session about the Call for Graduate Public Humanities Programming Application on Friday, September 25, 10:30-11:30 AM. This session will cover information on the Slow Action theme, the Day of Action, programming, tips on writing a strong application, and frequently asked questions. Attending the information session is not required to apply, but is highly encouraged. Attend in-person at 929 Curtin Hall, or via Teams (registration required for access to the Teams link).  

C21 strongly encourages questions and inquiries in advance of submissions. Please contact C21 Graduate Fellow Chloe Kwiatkowski kwiatk52@uwm.edu with questions.

September 25 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am
