The National Endowment for the Humanities recently awarded nearly $2.4 million in diversity, equity, and inclusion-related grants to higher education institutions, including one for a book about LGBTQ+ cartoonists and another to study “feminist mapping,” a College Fix analysis found.
The federal agency, which provides grants for humanities projects, announced via news release Jan. 14 that it would award “$22.6 million in grants for 219 humanities projects across the country,” including to museums, libraries, cultural organizations, and universities.
Of the grants given to professors or higher education institutions, a College Fix analysis identified 35 related to DEI issues, including climate change, race, and gender. The total amount of grant funding awarded to these projects was over $2.38 million.
