2025 Environmental Humanities Grant Recipients

The Yale Environmental Humanities Program is excited to announce the recipients of its 2025 Environmental Public Humanities Grants. The grant program supports projects initiated by Yale students, faculty, and affiliates to engage a broad lay public on questions of culture, environment, and society. Grant recipients use diverse media including video, visual arts, radio, and written and spoken word to explore environmental issues on the other side of the world and right here in New Haven.

 

Full descriptions of projects can be found under the “Public Humanities” tab of the Environmental Humanities website. 

 

Please join us in congratulating the 2025 grant recipients!
