The Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society announced its support for fifteen interdisciplinary projects in 2014-2015, ten of which feature Division of the Humanities faculty members. Composed of collaborative teams of scholars from across the University, these research projects will explore topics as diverse as art in public life to end-of-life care from medical and ethical perspectives. Each project supports the Neubauer Collegium’s mission to ask new questions and open new lines of inquiry across disciplinary boundaries. 

The seventeen Humanities faculty members are listed below with their department affiliation and project title. Visit the Neubauer Collegium and the University News site for more information on the 2014–2015 cohort of supported projects.
