Beth Eastlick and Rob Sikorski come to the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute (FHI) to share the funding side of things in the establishment of the humanities at Duke University. With nearly 50 years of institutional knowledge and fundraising & grant writing experience between them, the two luminaries lay out the path that concretized the humanities and how to currently navigate a changing landscape of donors and funders. Moderated by FHI's Director, Dr. Ranjana Khanna.
2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University. This year also coincides with the 100th anniversary of Duke. To mark these dovetailing anniversaries, FHI will host a series of conversations throughout the year engaging some of the most significant humanities scholars of our time - all formerly or currently affiliated with Duke - to historicize the University's significant investment in the humanities in the 1980s, reflect on what such investment made possible alongside national and international developments in the field, and propose future directions of humanities scholarship and teaching within and beyond Duke.
