Humanities funding

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

I would like to call to your attention this posting because it provides an
alternative to the IREX grants that are now largely out of reach for those
conducting research in the humanities due to new restrictions funding only
proposals for "policy-relevant research" (IREX's words, not mine.)

AATSEEL will be addressing this question at our December 2004 Executive
Council meeting.

Sincerely,

Ben Rifkin
President of AATSEEL
