ProgramsFaculty Response Forum | Emory College Research Grants in Humanistic Inquiry Applications: CHIIRS / CHIPS / Great Works Seminars The original Committee report envisioned the FCHI as an interdisciplinary institute providing "a focal point for humanities endeavors within the University," which would work to advance "research and teaching in the humanities broadly construed." The FCHI serves both those trained in the humanities as traditionally defined and also others in the University who are interested in humanistic issues; outreach to faculty and students in the Social Sciences, the Sciences, and the Professional Schools at Emory is an important part of the FCHI's work. The FCHI is dedicated to providing occasions and spaces for encouraging intellectual community and scholarship across disciplines. Faculty Response ForumThe FCHI Faculty Response Forum is an annual event that examines the role of the humanities in contemporary culture by focusing on an issue of current local, national, or international concern.

All Emory College Sophomores were invited to participate in this special opportunity, which provided an intellectual exchange with members of the Emory faculty. The Evening consisted of complimentary dinner and roundtable discussions between sophomores and members of the faculty on a range of topics. Click here... Initiative Fund for Public ProgrammingThe NEH Humanities Initiative Fund for Public Programs was established to promote humanities programming of potential interest to the general public. Members of CHIIRS seminars are eligible to apply to this Fund to initiate programs, such as lectures, workshops, mini-conferences, performances, and other activities, which would be open to members of both the Emory and the local community. For example, a reading by a local novelist arranged by the CHIIRS on Women Writers could be opened to community members. Applications to this Fund should outline the specific methods that organizers plan to use to publicize the event to the community and detail how they would involve non-academic participants.
