UMIH is seeking proposals for our External Grant Support program. This funding source was established in order to help researchers in the Faculty of Arts who are seeking external funding for conferences, workshops, colloquia, and other local research events. This program has been devised with SSHRC Connections and SSHRC Partnership Engage grants in mind, but it is open to applicants targeting other funding agencies or organizations. Applicants are asked to contact the UMIH with the details of the grant before applying to ensure that their application can be supported under the UMIH mandate.
See the attached poster for more information.

Serenity Joo has been volunteering inside Women's Correctional Centre in Headingley, MB for the past three years with the Prison Libraries Committee (PLC). PLC is a volunteer-run organization committed to literacy and supporting the right to read for those currently incarcerated. Recently, PLC published a chapbook entitled CREATE: Words and Art from WCC, partly based on writing workshops Serenity co-facilitated with Dr. Kate Ready from U of W. Serenity hopes to be able to offer U of M courses inside WCC in the near future.
