Use this form to submit a proposal for a new or significantly revised course based in humanities methods that fulfills the "Equity and Power" designation, the "Creative Processes" designation, or both. All permanent CC faculty who research or teach in the humanities, including the humanistic social sciences, are eligible to apply, and successful proposals will be awarded a $6000 grant to be distributed in early summer 2023. Proposals are due April 21, 2023.

Proposed courses do not need to be fully developed at this time, and it is sufficient to submit an idea or concept for a course. While you do not need to respond explicitly to the following questions, please consider them as you prepare your proposal. The suggested response length for each question is 100-250 words, but it is okay to write more words or fewer words.

● How can we continue to critically examine the histories, narratives, methods and theories that structure our disciplines under an antiracist and anti-oppressive lens, and what impact does this examination have on course content, pedagogies, and student experience?
● How may humanistic questions, methods and creative practices be harnessed for liberatory projects?
● How can we continue to decenter whiteness in our respective humanistic disciplines so that we genuinely hear, teach, and critique the voices of previously marginalized scholars and creatives in their fields?
● How do we strengthen existing interdisciplinary programs and forge new interdisciplinary collaborations within the context of the college’s antiracism commitment?
● Can we still talk meaningfully about a universal “human condition” in the 21st century? What are the constraints and what are the opportunities offered by this concept, and how do they relate to the struggle for social justice against a landscape of political and cultural polarization?
● Are justice and other moral and ethical claims inherent in forms of humanistic analysis?
