Humanities and Arts Funding Opportunities

May 7 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

 

Every month, CUNY’s Office of Research is offering a faculty research development webinar in collaboration with the Research Foundation Office of Award Pre-Proposal Support and the Office of Library Services. While the Mina Rees Library is not the organizer of these webinars, we are pleased to share them with the Graduate Center community. Session Description: Learn key tips to unlock funding for your scholarship, creative works, or programs by telling the right story every time. Presenter: Lisa Rhody (Deputy Director of Digital Initiatives, Graduate Center).

Open Resources for LGBTQ Studies

May 12 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

 

Teaching LGBTQ Studies depends on the availability of resources. This workshop will offer an overview to finding subject-specific resources (openly-licensed and freely accessible online), through the lens of primary and secondary sources. We will look at archival repositories (Library of Congress, Lesbian Herstory Archives, Digital Transgender Archive), OER textbooks, as well as how to locate open access scholarship (UnPaywall, DOAJ, and more). CUNY-based resources will also be included, such as the recently released CLAGS Newsletters Archive hosted on CUNY Academic Works.

Open-Source Software for Scholarship

May 13 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

 

OER isn’t just text; truly open scholarship needs freely accessible tools as well. Zotero, Tropy, LibreOffice, Charted, Datawrapper… there are solutions out there for just about every scholarly need, but they may not all be right for you. We’ll conduct an overview of the open-source software world as it relates to the needs of students and teachers, and try to shed some light on what open source means and what the best open bets are for academics.
