[Histmaj] Call for Applicants: 2026 Summer Institute in the Arts & Humanities (SIAH)

[HISTORY UNDERGRADUATE ADVISORS via Histmaj]

Dear Students,

The Office of Undergraduate Research is pleased to announce the call for applications for the 2026 Summer Institute in the Arts & Humanities (SIAH)<https://www.washington.edu/undergradresearch/siah/>! SIAH offers an opportunity for undergraduates to engage in scholarly research with accomplished scholars and peers while earning full-time academic credit. Student participants will receive a $7,500 scholarship, develop research related to an interdisciplinary theme, and formally present their work at a closing symposium.

This year’s theme is Seattle’s World Cup: Storytelling Through Community Mapping<https://www.washington.edu/undergradresearch/summer/siah-links/2026-siah-theme/>, will be developed and taught by Professors Caley Cook and Ron Krabill along with Ph.D. candidate Yasir Zaidan:

As they hype around Seattle’s hosting of the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup continue to build, we often hear that “the world is coming to Seattle!” But what does that really mean? The 2026 Summer Institute will use innovative community mapping alongside other arts and humanities methodologies (which could include photo and video essays, podcasts, journalistic reporting, blogging, etc.) to tell stories surrounding Seattle’s experience of the World Cup. 

Key Program Details:

·                     Application Deadline: March 2, 2026
