New Harmony was founded almost two hundred years ago first as a spiritual community, then as a haven for scholars, scientists, and educators whose visions of a utopian communal society gave rise to many progressive ideas and philosophies and inspired social change. We’d like to hear from all of you what your ideal vision of “Utopia” would be and why.
The University of Southern Indiana Foundation Endowment for New Harmony Studies Fund was established in 1983-1984 through the gifts of New Harmony resident, Helen Elliott, and the Harmonie Associates.
The purpose of the fund is to support the scholarly work of USI faculty that will make a significant contribution to the knowledge of the history of New Harmony. Proposals are approved by the Provost, in consultation with a committee chaired by the director of Historic New Harmony.
Scholars are invited to submit proposals at any time:
