Three Humanities Researchers Receive National Funding

The National Endowment for the Humanities announced more than $26M in funding for humanities projects nationwide. Three Pitt faculty — two of which being previous Pitt Research Arts & Humanities Microgrant winners — each received a summer stipend grant to fund the following projects:

  • Adam Cilli (Pitt Greensburg) — Racial Policing and Criminal Justice Reform during the Great Migration
  • Mrinalini Rajagopalan (Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences) — The Other Shah Jahan: An Indian Queen Builds England’s First Mosque
  • Annette Vee (Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences) — Public-Facing Scholarship on Automating Writing

These grants confirm our ability to compete in humanities research at the national level in this highly competitive research ecosystem.
