A biography of One World Trade Center and online publication of the papers of Jonathan Edwards are among the projects of YDS-related scholars to receive funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities in its latest grant awards.
Announced earlier this summer, the new NEH awards include:
-
a grant of $100,000 to Greg Sterling, the Reverend Henry L. Slack Dean of Yale Divinity School and Lillian Claus Professor of New Testament, to prepare an English translation and critical commentary on The Life of Abraham by Philo of Alexandria.
-
a grant of $250,000 to the Jonathan Edwards Center at YDS, under the direction of Harry Stout, Jonathan Edwards Professor of American Christianity, for the online publication of the collected papers of Edwards.
-
a grant of $37,800 to independent scholar Judith Dupré ’11 M.Div. to write a biography of One World Trade Center exploring the tower’s planning, aesthetic premise, and historical origins.
In addition, the Yale Indian Papers Project at YDS plays a role in a new NEH grant awarded to the Digital Native American Studies Project. YIPP will host a three-day workshop for the project focusing on issues of access, preservation, and methodology related to the use of digitized cultural heritage materials in the context of tribal communities and cultures from the territories east of the Mississippi River.
