The Experience of War: Moral Transformation, Injury, and Repair
NEH Grant (2016-2018)
In 2016, Dr. Acampora was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) as part of the “Dialogues on the Experience of War” initiative.
The project included a series of reading groups on moral experiences in war, staged throughout New York City and led by an expert panel of facilitators. It also included public events and a culminating conference. As part of the project, Acampora also taught an interdisciplinary honors seminar. Subsequently, she supported related activities, also funded by the NEH, at Emory University.
