Kahn Projects

Every year, the Kahn sponsors long- and short-term projects and related events, which are proposed, planned, and organized by Smith faculty and staff. Each project explores a specific theme that is broad enough to generate a variety of disciplinary interests and yet focused enough to stimulate meaningful investigation and discussions. Fellows in yearlong or semester-long projects that meet weekly receive research grants.
