Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Hilariously self-deprecating and elegantly written, this 'manual' on
How to Get Grant Money in the Humanities and Social Sciences is strangely powerful. It draws on painful personal experience and the advice and expertise of nine senior scholars. Yet, it is also a cunning reflection on the virtues of self-awareness, stubbornness, and community." - Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra, author of
How to Write the History of the New World"This uniquely valuable book helps make it possible for students and scholars to transform their love for their subject from something essentially inward and passive into something that puts their love into effect in the real world." - Edward Mendelson, Columbia University
“With its jeweled prose, sparkling wit, concision, and panache, this is a
masterpiece of practical wisdom. It stands with Georges Perec’s
Life: A User’s Manual and Strunk and White’s
Elements of Style among the very best works of its kind.
How to Get Grant Money in the Humanities and Social Sciences renews our faith in the humanities: it is essential reading for one and all.”—Tom Conley, Harvard University
