The deadline to apply for IPRH–Andrew W. Mellon Undergraduate Internships in Environmental Humanities is March 1 at 5:00 p.m.  The Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities (IPRH), with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is looking for undergraduate interns to work with its Environmental Humanities research group for the academic year 2018–2019 as part of a paid internship.  Environmental Humanities is environmental studies from a humanistic standpoint. Environmental Humanities pulls from different movements (environmental philosophy, environmental history, ecocriticism, cultural geography, anthropology, and others) to study the relationship between humans and non-human nature, past and present.  The research group seeks three undergraduate interns who will work with the group on their seminars, workshops, and programs. Interns will also work with the research group director, Professor Bob Morrissey, to develop their own research projects as well as a research symposium for undergraduates at the end of the spring semester.  View Undergraduate Internships in Environmental Humanities eligibility requirements and application guidelines at http://www.iprh.illinois.edu/fellowships/mellon/undergraduate.html.
