On Tuesday, 24, the Global Arts + Humanities will host a virtual information session for faculty interested in applying for a Discovery Field School Grant (deadline: March 13, 2026).
Global Arts + Humanities' Field Schools are faculty-led, interdisciplinary, experiential-learning programs offered as one-credit undergraduate courses that take students to domestic destinations to learn about the transformational value of the humanities and the arts. By immersing students in learning environments, field schools aim to close the gap between knowing and doing.
This session will be hosted by College of Arts and Sciences Alumni Associate Professor of History, Hasan Kwame Jeffries. Jeffries is also the director of GAH’s Difficult Subjects: Interdisciplinary K-12 Teaching Institute and leads a recurring field school, "Defining the Color Line: Race, Democracy and the Enslaved Community,” which take students to James Madison's home, Montpelier, and Charlottesville, Virginia.
