Wenner-Gren Application Workshop

The Wenner-Gren Foundation is a key supporter of anthropology worldwide, funding research across the subfields of anthropology. Danilyn Rutherford, the Foundation’s president, will offer a workshop designed to help students and faculty navigate the process of getting a Wenner-Gren Foundation grant. There will be plenty of time for questions. Breakfast will be provided.
