The Humanities Forum at the University of Oklahoma awards up to five faculty grants of up to $5,000 each per year in support of research and other creative activities corresponding to the Forum’s interdisciplinary annual theme. The 2015-2016 Forum theme was The Humanities and the Environment.

The Humanities Forum encourages faculty projects that are individual or collaborative, that create substantive intellectual exchange among a diverse group of scholars on multiple levels (locally, nationally, and globally), and that engage the “public square.” The grants support creative programs, projects, or events in the arts and humanities that contribute to a vibrant humanities culture at the University of Oklahoma.
