This academic year is proving to be another busy one for the Glasscock Center.

Arriving at Texas A&M in 2003 as an assistant professor in the Department of History, I benefited enormously from the Glasscock Center both as a generous source of grants and, more important, as an intellectual home.

The Glasscock Center has been hosting and supporting a range of research activities this semester, and I’d like to update everyone on our news and upcoming events.

The Fall semester is underway, and at the Glasscock Center we have been continuing the vital work of supporting faculty and student humanities research through our grant opportunities, weekly colloquia series for our Glasscock Fellows, Undergraduate Summer Scholars program, working groups, and Global Health Humanities and Humanities: Land Sea Space initiatives.

On behalf of the Glasscock Center team, I would like to send along our concern and well wishes to all affected by the awful winter storm in Texas last week and subsequent power outages and water problems. We hope that everyone is staying safe.

As we begin this new semester, I hope that this message finds you all well. During these difficult times, the work of humanities centers is more important than ever.

The Glasscock Center team extends their concern and support to everyone affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope that you are well and safe.

Our semester is well underway here at the Glasscock Center, with activities ranging from our weekly faculty and graduate colloquia, working group activities, and book chats, to our own major events and those which we support and co-sponsor through a range of grants.
