Small projects

Every year CModS provides a number of Small Project Grants to aid interdisciplinary work across the humanities and social sciences in the modern period. These may be used to organise lectures, workshops, study days, conferences, graduate symposia, and reading groups, or to facilitate events where scholars can interact with one another as a means to developing new interdisciplinary research.

Applications for projects that will take place in the academic year 2012-2013 are now closed.  A new round of applications will be announced in the winter of 2012-2013.
