Social Science Research Council Announces New World History Curriculum Grant Program
Deadline: May 31, 2012
The British Council and the Social Science Research Council have announced the launch of Our Shared Past, a collaborative grants program designed to encourage new approaches to world history curriculum and curricular content design in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and North America. The program is supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
Our Shared Past is designed to promote the development of international scholarly communities that are committed to analyzing history curriculum and reframing the teaching of world history through the identification of new scholarship and the development of new curricular content that illustrate shared cultural, economic, military, religious, social, and scientific networks and practices as well as shared global norms and values that inform world history and society. The project will encourage both the synthesis of existing scholarship on these topics and the exploration of concrete ways that this reframing can be successfully introduced into teaching curriculum in European, Middle Eastern, North African, and North American contexts.
Grants will be made to research teams and research centers at university campuses in the United States, including but not limited to Title VI National Resource Centers. While the program especially encourages research teams/consortia that include partner institutions from Britain and/or the Middle East/North Africa region, the principal investigator must be based at a U.S. university.
The program anticipates awarding five grants of up to $75,000 for a period of twelve months. Grants may support workshops that convene scholars and advisory boards as well as partnerships between regional educational organizations and advocates. Additionally, projects may use a grant to support public-facing events that allow for engagement with world history curriculum reform.
