The Center for 21st Century Studies is now accepting applications for its first open call for graduate student-led public humanities programming. Proposals are due Nov. 16.
Master’s and doctoral students in any discipline at UWM are invited to propose an event or program for the Spring 2026 semester. The proposal theme is Slow Care. The theme invites graduate students to investigate critical questions surrounding slowness, attention and practices of care for the self, community health and mutual aid. Proposals might consider how thoughtful and deliberate care can support resilience, foster collective well-being, or address the social and health needs of Milwaukee communities.
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.
