NEH grant supports Humanities Commons, a one-of-a-kind humanities resource

Humanities Commons, an essential tool for the humanities field, has received a $500,000 challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, or NEH, to further develop and support its scholarly infrastructure.

Humanities Commons, led by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, director of digital humanities for MSU’s College of Arts and Letters, is an online network for people working in the humanities. It was founded by the Modern Language Association and is supported by the NEH and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The Humanities Commons hopes to connect all scholars and practitioners in every corner of the humanities through its trusted, open-source, open-access network to enable anyone access to the work that matters to them, to create new conversations and collaborations and to get their work out to the world.
