Congratulations to Professor Matt Dallek on being awarded a Humanities Facilitating Fund (HFF) award. Dr. Dallek, a faculty member in the political management program, plans to use the financial support to conduct archival research for his new book on political violence.
Dr. Dallek will receive the HFF Award from GW’s Office of the Vice President of Presidential Research. The goal of these awards is to provide funding for the promotion of humanities scholarship among faculty at GW. This opportunity is open to all regular-status faculty conducting research in the humanities, regardless of home department or unit. Awards are limited to $5,000.
"I'm grateful to George Washington University, the College of Professional Studies, and the Graduate School of Political Management for their commitment to funding faculty research. Thanks for making it possible—I really appreciate the support for my research, writing, and teaching. I intend to use these funds to conduct archival research for my next book and hopefully advance the University's research mission."
