TSSL supports a variety of projects at Wellesley College including:

Faculty Working Group

Each semester, TSSL convenes a working group for humanities faculty to discuss new and ongoing courses and projects.

Academic Year Research Fellowships

TSSL funds semester-long, paid student research fellowships in the humanities. These projects are overseen by faculty and rotate each semester.

Summer Research Fellowships

Summer research fellowships are paid student research opportunities in the humanities overseen by faculty.

Public Humanities Projects

TSSL provides funding each year to support new or ongoing public humanities projects led by Wellesley faculty.

Course Revision and New Courses

TSSL supports the creation of new courses or revision of existing courses through the faculty working group. This curricular transformation will broaden the reach and appeal of humanities courses to students across campus and will demonstrate how humanities-based tools can address essential questions and shared dilemmas.

Public Workshops

TSSL invites five speakers a year to discuss models for humanities research, public humanities projects, and other humanities topics. These workshops offer additional humanities programming on campus specifically intended to encourage discussion among faculty about applying these models to their own work.
