Grants and fellowships are increasingly essential to an academic
career, and competition over federal and foundation funding is
fiercer than ever. Yet there has hitherto been little training
available for this genre of writing. Funding Your Research in the
Humanities and Social Sciences demystifies the process of writing
winning grant proposals in the humanities and social sciences.
Offering practical guidance, step-by-step instructions, and
examples of successful proposals, Walker and Unruh outline the best
practices to crack the proposal writing code. They reveal the most
common peeves of proposal reviewers, and offer advice on how to
avoid frequent problem areas in conceptualizing and crafting a
research proposal in the humanities and social sciences.
Contributions from agency and foundation program officers offer the
perspective from the other side of the proposal submission portal,
and new research funding trends, including crowdfunding and public
scholarship, are also covered. This book is essential reading for
all those involved in funding applications. Graduate students,
research administrators, early career faculty members, and tenured
professors alike will gain new and effective strategies to write
successful applications.

The landscape of memory studies has been transformed by a growing
consciousness of global interconnectedness and the politics of
human rights. The essays in this volume of the Mass Dictatorship
project explore the entangled pasts of dictatorships, the tensions
between de-territorializing and re-territorializing memories, and
the competitive construction of memories of the intersubjective
past from a world-wide perspective. Written from a variety of
differing historical perspectives, cultural positions, and
disciplinary backgrounds, the collection searches for historical
accountability across the generations of the post-war era.
This volume explores the politics of memory involved in 'coming to
terms with the past' of mass dictatorship on a global scale.
Considering how a growing sense of global connectivity and global
human rights politics changed the memory landscape, the essays
explore entangled pasts of dictatorships.

For 872 days during World War II, the city of Leningrad endured a
crushing blockade at the hands of German forces. Close to one
million civilians died, most from starvation. Amid the devastation,
Olga Berggolts broadcast her poems on the one remaining radio
station, urging listeners not to lose hope. When the siege had
begun, the country had already endured decades of revolution, civil
war, economic collapse, and Stalin's purges. Berggolts herself
survived the deaths of two husbands and both of her children, her
own arrest, and a stillborn birth after being beaten under
interrogation. Berggolts wrote her memoir Daytime Stars in the
spirit of the thaw after Stalin's death. In it, she celebrated the
ideals of the revolution and the heroism of the Soviet people while
also criticizing censorship of writers and recording her doubts and
despair. This English translation by Lisa A. Kirschenbaum makes
available a unique autobiographical work by an important author of
the Soviet era. In her foreword, Katharine Hodgson comments on
experiences of the Terror about which Berggolts was unable or
unwilling to write.
