British Council and the Social Science Research Council: a collaborative grants program "Our Shared Past"

The program is to encourage new approaches to world history curriculum and curricular content design in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and North America. Our Shared Past grants will promote the development of international scholarly communities committed to analyzing history curriculum and reframing the teaching of world history through the identification of new scholarship and the development of new curricular content that illustrate shared cultural, economic, military, religious, social, and scientific networks and practices as well as shared global norms and values that inform world history and society. We anticipate awarding 5 grants of up to US$75K. The grant period will span 12 months, from 1.9.2012, to 31.8.2013.
* Grants will be made to research teams or research centers on US university campuses, including, but not limited to, Title VI National Resource Centers. While we especially encourage research teams/consortia that include partner institutions from the United Kingdom and/or the Middle East/North Africa region, the principal investigator must be based at a US university.
