The UWM Libraries invite proposals for the 2025 Morris Fromkin Memorial Research Grant and Lecture. The $5,000 grant encourages and assists UWM scholars in all fields of study to conduct research on individuals, groups, movements, and ideas which have influenced the quest for social justice and human rights in the United States.
For 2025, we especially welcome proposals on environmental justice, immigration, gender equity, LGBTQ+ rights, or indigeneity. Applications must be submitted by January 10, 2025. All full-time UWM faculty and academic staff are encouraged to apply, individually or as a group. More information is available here.
The 2024 Morris Fromkin Memorial Lecture will be delivered by Nan Kim, associate professor, UWM Department of History, on Thursday, October 17, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. in the Fourth Floor Conference Center of the UWM Golda Meir Library, 2311 E. Hartford Ave. The title of her talk is “Environmental Crisis and Social Justice in the New Nuclear Age: Contemporary Legacies of Rachel Carson and Jonathan Schell.”
