A friend needs a place to stay immediately for herself and her dog in Chicago or Evanston. She can pay up to $1200 per month. If anyone on here has any concrete leads, please share with me.
(I recognize my primary network is humanists, but any references pointing outside our echo-chamber would be amazing!!)
My current project is shaping up to be increasingly about how international loans become individual debt. And while many brilliant humanists are tackling this dynamic, the prevailing orthodoxy in economics seems to be that loans=aid. Is that accurate? Whose scholarship might I be overlooking?
The NSF Grad Research Fellowship funds at least 2,500 STEM *grad students* at approx $159k (to be used over 3 years). The NEH Fellowships for *faculty* funds an avg of 71 awards up to $60k for one year. There is 0 funding available for hum grad students. The imbalance is astonishing and harmful.
According to the ACLS, 1,100 people applied for the 60 awards from their single remaining fellowship program for general humanities research. Applications were restricted to early career untenured PhDs. Proof there isn't enough humanities research funding available. www.acls.org/news/america...
Sixty new ACLS Fellowships recognize excellence in research in the humanities and interpretive social sciences.
thank you, Rose!
Finally overcame my deep-seated fears of typos and ... opened the book. I would never have predicted how extraordinary it feels to peer into the physical object--to feel, immediately, the many hands that shaped it, from editor and indexer to typesetter and papermaker. It's truly awesome.

Is Word's new default font actually ... good? Or am I imagining things?
