Dr. Christopher Hopkins' scholarship integrates electroacoustic music composition, computer modeling for creative processes in composition, dialectics among historical musical styles, and performance of Renaissance and Baroque music for the viola da gamba. His recent supporting research includes algorithmic musical logic based on historical and interdisciplinary models, and analysis of chord-color symmetry. 

In 2022, Hopkins was awarded the MacDowell fellowship.

Jeff Bremer (History): A New History of Iowa, 1673-2020

Jeff Bremer (History) received a CEAH research grant to complete work on his book manuscript, A New History of Iowa, 1673-2020.

In the summer of 2021 he made three week-long research trips to Iowa City to visit archives. These included the Iowa Women’s Archive, the University of Iowa Libraries’ Special Collections, and the State Historical Society of Iowa research center in Iowa City. He also spent several days looking for images for the manuscript.

2016 Research Grant

Firat Erdim, assistant professor of Architecture, utilized funds from his CEAH Research Grant to begin a new project. He states, “The research grant I received from CEAH gave me the invaluable opportunity to develop a project, Peregrine Projections, across a much larger terrain than I had previously been able to engage. With the grant, I was able to walk approximately 800km along the Camino de Santiago; from Segovia to Sahagún, Sahagún to Leon, Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela, and because I arrived there earlier than I had anticipated, from Porto back to Santiago de Compostela; and documented the walk through the photo/carto-graphic process invented for the project.
