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 that 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 Jan. 10, 2025. All full-time UWM faculty and academic staff are encouraged to apply, individually or as a group. More information is available online.
The 2024 Morris Fromkin Memorial Lecture will be delivered by Nan Kim, UWM associate professor of history, on Thursday, Oct. 17, 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.”
