College of Arts & Sciences Faculty Receives NEH Summer Stipend

Assistant Professor in Film and Media Studies Benjamin Schultz-Figueroa, PhD, was awarded a Summer Stipend from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The stipend will support Dr. Schultz-Figueroa's project, Beastly Futures: Multispecies Documentary in the Time of Mass Extinction, a book on the ways documentary films about animals have evolved as makers and viewers come to better understand environmental change and the mass extinction of species.

A highly competitive program, this is the first time in more than 20 years that an SU faculty has received a Summer Stipend. More information on this award can be found in the NEH Press Release and on the application process on the OSP webpage.
