The MIT Press has announced the first recipients of the Grant Program for Diverse Voices. Launched in 2021 to expand funding for authors whose experience and knowledge of diverse communities informs books that meet the highest standards of peer-reviewed scholarship, the initiative provides support for the research and writing of new works.
"The MIT Press has a proud legacy of bold, socially engaged publishing that champions the sharing of information and ideas from diverse perspectives," says Amy Brand, director and publisher of the MIT Press. "As part of our enduring commitment to diverse voices and perspectives, we are proud to support these authors with grants to support the preparation and publication of their work."
