Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program

The UNCF has been invited to submit a nominee for the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program.

The Carnegie Corporation of New York will award up to thirty-five fellowships of $200,000 to support travel, research assistants, and/or sabbatical time.

Extraordinary senior or junior scholars at Spelman are invited to submit their names for consideration. Because the fellowship program aims to support the social sciences and humanities, proposals should “incorporate historical precedents, cultural underpinnings, and/or moral arguments.” This fellowship is available only to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Faculty wishing to be considered for nomination should forward a CV and one-page project summary to Claudia Scholz by October 30, 2017.

If you are selected as the nominee, you must prepare a prospectus, budget, and summary, as well as submit your photo, CV, abridged CV and nomination letter by November 17, 2017.  Fellows will be selected by April 2018.

Projects must be research-based and fall into one of the eligible topic areas:

Strengthening U.S. democracy and exploring new narratives

Possible topic areas include, but are not confined to, inequality, access to education, religion, gender, race, migration and immigration, the widening poverty-wealth gap, political polarization, civic participation, individual rights and privacy, forms of cultural expression, incarceration, judicial and criminal justice reform, rule of law, the voting process, the party system, and the public good.

Technological and cultural creativity—potential and perils

ACLS Now Accepting Applications for Fellowship Programs

The American Council of Learned Societies has opened its applications system for the 2017 cycle.  ACLS offers several fellowship opportunities for faculty in the humanities.  The programs that are of greatest interest to Spelman faculty are the Burkhardt Residential Fellowships for Recently Tenured Scholars and the ACLS Fellowships. Note that the Burkhardt requires some institutional commitment which must be cleared by the provost’s office. Also, this year ACLS is introducing the ACLS Project Development Grants specifically for faculty at teaching-intensive institutions. Faculty who submit promising proposals to the ACLS Fellowships but are not chosen for a fellowship may be awarded a grant of $5,000 to support their projects. The ACLS FAQs page will provide more information.

The deadline for the Burkhardt Residential and ACLS Fellowships is September 27, 2017 by 9:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time.

CUR Debuts New Scholarly Journal This Fall

The Council of Undergraduate Research will debut its new journal Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research (SPUR) in fall 2017. SPUR will replace CUR Quarterly. This peer-reviewed publication will focus on scholarly work that studies useful and innovative practices, approaches and pedagogical models, and will highlight assessment results of undergraduate research. The journal will be a helpful tool for faculty interested in increasing their understanding of undergraduate student-faculty engagement.

Submission guidelines for SPUR can be found here.
