In partnership with Jonathan Alexander (the SOH Equity Advisor) and Nasrin Rahimieh (Associate Dean for Personnel), the Humanities Center has been sponsoring initiatives to support faculty research development. This roundtable is intended for those who are facing challenges starting new book projects and completing them, especially given the various responsibilities that faculty undertake. Please join us for lunch and the sharing of experiences and advice.
