Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research (WIHR)

Over the past year, the Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research has worked harder than ever to fund, support, and promote humanities research. We have had our team grow with a new full-time employee and our new project, the Democracy Laboratory. Now we need your help to continue our efforts. This October 19-20 from noon to noon, please consider giving a donation to the Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research. 

The Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research strives to be an engine for producing interdisciplinary research in the humanities; a community for faculty, students, and the public; and a model of democratic education fit for our land-grant university.

Your Giving Day donations to the institute go directly to scholars, fellowships, and programs that support interdisciplinary humanities work. Your donations also fund speaker events and discussion groups that reach hundreds of viewers, both in and out of the state of Wyoming. This fund also goes directly to the Democracy Laboratory, which seeks to empower students, faculty, and the public using interdisciplinary methods drawn from diverse disciplines, such as anthropology, art, cultural studies, geography, history, literature, philosophy, and political science in order to connect our communities and to strengthen the quality of our democracy. 

This year we have a donor challenge! To help us with this you can donate any amount, be it $1 or $100 dollars. We are aiming to have 50 individual donors, this year. 50 donors unlock $1,000 from Dr. Scott Henkel, Director of Wyoming Institute for Humanities Research. 

Anyone who donates will be sent a free copy of a book and a personal thank-you letter from Dr. Scott Henkel, the institute's director. Every little bit helps our mission to be an engine for producing interdisciplinary research in the humanities. 

Thank you for your gifts this year to the Wyoming Humanities Humanities Research!
