Sean Brenner I UCLA
Four Humanities Division professors are among the first recipients of new UCLA grants intended to strengthen the campus’s international standing and impact.
Stephanie Bosch Santana, professor of comparative literature, and Jennifer Jung-Kim, lecturer in Asian languages and cultures and the UCLA International Institute, both received Global Education Awards for Internationalizing Curriculum, which support faculty or departments aiming to internationalize their curricula. The education awards confer grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000.
Barbara Fuchs, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, and of English; and Victoria Mateu, professor of Spanish and Portuguese, and of linguistics; each received a Global Research Award, which is meant to advance globally engaged research and contribute to inclusive excellence. The research awards include seed grants of up to $20,000 and global research grants of up to $50,000.
Both grant programs were introduced this year in support of the goal of expanding UCLA’s global reach, one of the pillars of the campus’s 2023–28 strategic plan. In all, 26 grant recipients were chosen by the UCLA Global Advisors Council. Read summaries of all of the inaugural winners’ projects on the UCLA Global website.
