Professor Jinah Kim’s Mapping Color in History project received a $349,000 Level III Digital Humanities Advancement Grant from the NEH Office of Digital Humanities as one of 14 DHAG awardees in this grant cycle, and one of 204 awardees across all NEH grants. This award continues the generous Level II grant awarded to Dr. Kim for MCH in 2020, as well as a Dean’s Competitive Fund for Promising Scholarship award, a Barajas grant, and a Lakshmi Mittal and Family South Asia Institute (LMSAI) Tata trust faculty grant.
