The Office of Undergraduate Research is currently accepting applications for the following two grants:

Conference Travel Grant - This grant provides awards of up to $350 for undergraduate students to travel to professional conferences to present their research posters, papers, or creative works. Please note, the Office of Undergraduate Research does not provide funds for conference travel for attendance only; grants are meant for students who will present their work. The deadline for applications is October 4 at 11:59pm. For details, eligibility requirements, and link to the application please visit: http://go.illinois.edu/OUR_CTG Undergraduate Research Support Grant - This grant provides students from all disciplines with the funds necessary to conduct research or creative projects during the academic year both on and off campus (including summer terms). Awards will be up to $2,000 and are meant to cover research travel costs, living expenses incurred during academic breaks (i.e., winter break and summer terms, NOT regular semester living expenses), and materials or other ancillary costs. We hope that this competition will both broaden and deepen the types of research being conducted by undergraduate students on campus, and that the recipients are able to use this opportunity as a way of engaging with their fields. The deadline for applications is October 19 at 11:59pm. For details, eligibility requirements, and link to the application please visit: http://go.illinois.edu/OUR_RSG

Unit One presents Stateless Things Film screening on 10/23/17

Nov 7, 2017 2:45 pm20 views

Stateless Things, Film screening, reception, and discussion w/ director Kyungmook Kim is on Monday, October 23 at 7:00 p.m. in the Main Lounge of Allen Hall, 1005 W. Gregory Drive, Urbana. Free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the garage across the street.

Kyungmook Kim is one of the most widely known and respected artists working in Korean LGBT and independent cinema today. In 2014 the Association of Korean Independent Film and Video named him the Filmmaker of the Year, and just a few months later, the Korean government imprisoned him for being a gay conscientious objector. Kim’s works interrogate the ways in which marginalized members of Korean society (ethnic and sexual minorities, political refugees) create spaces for themselves on the borders between visibility and invisibility, presence and absence.

This event is free and open to the public, and is sponsored by generous contributions from Unit One/Allen Hall; the Center for Advanced Study; the University Library; the Center for East Asian Languages and Cultures; the School of Literatures, Cultures, and Linguistics; the Program in Comparative and World Literature; the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures; the Department of Media and Cinema Studies; and the University of Illinois LGBT Resource Center.
