Grant recipients will receive a stipend of $6000. They are expected to write a short piece (to be published on the project website) on how the Anthropocene influences their research, and give a 15 minutes presentation in the 2022 fall term on how investigations of Anthropocene themes have affected their work and future research plans.

To apply, please send a 1-2 page c.v. and a completed application form to norman.wirzba@duke.edu (subject line “Anthropocene Graduate Research Grant”). DEADLINE MARCH 25, 2022. Inquiries should be directed to norman.wirzba@duke.edu.
