SAH member meetups are virtual programs intended to help members connect with one another and explore a variety of topics. Meetups are free and open to current members. Past meetups have provided advice on publishing in JSAH, writing for SAH Archipedia, and crafting a strong session proposal. Other meetups have connected members who are emerging scholars, adjunct and contingent faculty, or employed outside of academia.

Have an idea for a Meetup you’d like to see or host?  Email Anne Bird, Director of Membership at membership@sah.org.

Are you considering applying for funding from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts?  This Chicago institution fosters the development and exchange of diverse and challenging ideas about architecture and its role in the arts, culture, and society. The Graham Foundation realizes this vision through making project-based grants to individuals and organizations and producing exhibitions, events, and publications.  SAH members have been among the many project grant awardees, making it a premier resource for the different research projects and activities.

Program Officer James Pike will join us to talk about the Foundation's evaluation process, and what makes a project they are interested in, come to fruition.
