This notice solicits applications for the Dialogues on the Experience of War program, which supports the study and discussion of humanities sources about diverse experiences of military service and war through projects that draw on the humanities to connect veterans and civilians.The Dialogues on the Experience of War program supports projects that use humanities approaches and resources to explore the human experiences of war and military service and their repercussions for those directly and indirectly involved. While the forms and technologies of war and military engagement may change over time, deeper questions and connections persist and often find expression through the humanities.
Dialogues projects enable veterans and civilians to consider their own experiences in light of these questions and within the broader context and perspectives such humanities methods and resources provide. Dialogues projects create communities of inquiry by engaging participants in recurring, in-depth group discussions of meaningful themes, sources, and issues. All projects first build a cohort of discussion leaders and prepare them to facilitate these discussions. Dialogues projects thus offer especially transformative learning experiences for all who participate.
Dialogues Project Requirements Awards of up to $100,000 support two required components:
- Discussion programs: The convening of at least two sustained discussion series focused on humanities resources and themes that address the experiences of war and military service. Each series should convene approximately fifteen participants who will attend all sessions. Sessions may be in person, virtual, or in a hybrid format, but they must provide enough time to build intellectual community among the participants.
- Preparatory programs: The creation of an in-person or virtual preparatory program to recruit, train, select, and mentor individuals to serve as discussion leaders for the series. Projects may prepare a larger cohort of discussion leaders if they wish to have them serve as co-facilitators or as alternates, with a suggested minimum of one facilitator working with no more than fifteen participants.
