Jose Figueroa was selected as a recipient of 2024-2025 Humanities Research Institute Interseminars Fellowship. He is one of eight other graduate students from the College of Fine and Applied Arts and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Interseminars represents the latest thinking on how best to practice a genuinely collaborative and equitable commitment to graduate training in the public research university of the 21st century. Through the initiative, faculty and graduate students collaborate in the design of cross-departmental and cross-college courses, with funding for key aspects of that work: co-curricular programming, shared research experiences and fellowship support for students, particularly those historically underrepresented in higher education.

Graduate students are selected to participate in two summer intensives, interdisciplinary methods seminar and themed seminar course, and to engage in collaborative research with the faculty co-leaders. Each project spans an 18-month period, culminating in a community event. |
