HSS Humanities Center Graduate Course-Based Mini-Residencies

The HSS Humanities Center offers Graduate Course-Based Mini-Residencies for Visiting Scholars. This program connects faculty members and the graduate students enrolled in their courses with leading scholars in their fields. The residencies supply the funds and administrative support to bring an agenda-setting scholar in that faculty member’s field to campus for up to four days of engagement with the faculty member and their graduate course enrollees, as well as other HSS communities.

These residencies (1) extend the curricular resources of graduate study in HSS by making it possible for faculty to bring in scholars working at the intersection of faculty members’ own research itineraries and their graduate students’ academic training, (2) present chances for faculty (especially junior and mid-career faculty) to consult about their own research with eminent scholars in their fields, and (3) empower faculty members and their department chairs/program directors to curate high-impact, scholarship-advancing encounters, in any number of formats.

Four graduate course-based mini-residencies will be hosted this Fall 2024. For more information on the scholars coming to campus this semester, click here and like LSU HSS on Facebook (@LSUHSS) or follow on X (@LSUHSS) and Instagram (@lsu_hss) for announcements of events associated with the residencies.

Faculty leading a graduate course in Fall 2025 will be invited in Spring 2025 to apply for one of these Graduate Course-Based Mini-Residencies for Visiting Scholars. For more information, contact Chris Barrett (cbarrett@lsu.edu).
