Two faculty members from the School of Arts and Humanities have been selected to receive the Humanities and Emerging Arts (HEArts) Grant from the UT Dallas Office of Research.
Dr. Shilyh Warren, associate professor of film and aesthetic studies, received the grant for her project, “Marie Bonaparte and Feminist Psychoanalysis for the Present.” With the funds from this grant, she will conduct research among Freud’s and Bonaparte’s papers at the Library of Congress. Warren also plans to spend a month next summer in the archives at the Freud Museum in London, where she has applied for a writer’s residency.
Dr. Matthew Brown, professor of philosophy and director of the University’s Center for Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology, received his HEArts grant to fund expenses related to the publication of his book “Science and Moral Imagination: A New Ideal for Values in Science.” The book is forthcoming this Fall from University of Pittsburgh Press, but thanks in part to the HEArts grant, it will also be available as an Open Access e-book. In the book, Brown will argue that science and values mutually influence and implicate one another, that the influence of values on science is pervasive and must be responsibly managed, and that science can and should have an influence on our values.
