Scholarly Programs
Colloquia
Each year the Center hosts an interdisciplinary faculty colloquium based around a theme chosen by the colloquium director. Both the participants and director are chosen by competition. In addition, the Center periodically co-sponsors thematic colloquia with various University partners.
Seminars
The Hall Center sponsors twelve ongoing seminars which bring together faculty and graduate students from different departments for interdisciplinary dialogue and discussion and to present research. Many of the seminars also invite visiting speakers from other US universities and from overseas.
Workshops
The Center sponsors workshops for faculty and graduate students, according to demand and funding. The main workshops assist the development of research grant proposals and faculty publications.
Research Projects
The Center sponsors sponsors a number of collaborative research projects, most of which involve organizations and investigators from outside the University.
Resident Fellows
The Center is home to two Hall Distinguished Professors and awards residential fellowships to five KU faculty members each year. Beginning in 2006-2007, we will also host the Simons Public Humanities Fellow and the Richard and Jeannette Sias Graduate Fellow.
Faculty Authors
The Hall Center assists faculty to develop and complete their research, and secure its publication. Learn more about KU Faculty Authors and the publications that owe their conception, development and publication, at least in part, to the support of the Hall Center.
