Minnesota Transform: A Just University for Just Futures

I am so thrilled to join the Minnesota Transform team as project manager. I graduated from the University of Minnesota with a B.S. in Urban Studies and a Master’s in Heritage Studies and Public History (HSPH). I bring to the initiative a background in public history focused racial justice projects adjacent to the University.

The IAS is pleased to introduce Minnesota Transform: A Just University for Just Futures, a $5 million higher education initiative that will address transformational decolonial and racial justice in the University, Twin Cities, and state through public humanities projects.

The Humanities Without Walls initiative has been awarded a $5 million grant renewal from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The Institute for Advanced Study is coordinating proposals from the University of Minnesota for the new Mellon Just Futures Initiative. Grants of up to $5 million for 2–3 years are available.

The Institute for Advanced Study invites applications for a two-year appointment for an early-career scholar as part of the Environmental Stewardship, Place, and Community Initiative funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
