The Howard Foundation targets its support specifically to early mid-career individuals who have completed at least one major project and demonstrate potential to be future leaders in their fields. We congratulate Professor Stremlau on this prestigious fellowship and look forward to her publication. Read more about Professor Stremlau’s funded research projects here.

The Ford Foundation Fellowship program for early-career faculty members aims “to increase the diversity of the nation’s college and university faculties by increasing their ethnic and racial diversity, maximize the educational benefits of diversity, and increase the number of professors who can and will use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students.”

Three Ford Fellowship winners (Martha-Elizabeth Baylor, Associate Professor of Physics and Chair of the Physics and Astronomy Department at Carleton College and Chair of the American Physical Society Committee on Education; LeRhonda Manigault-Bryant, Professor of Africana Studies and former Associate Dean of the Faculty at Williams College; and Taneisha Means, Assistant Professor of Political Science on the Class of 1951 Chair at Vassar College, who’s also affiliated with Vassar’s Africana Studies and Women’s Studies Programs) will provide a panel discussion of how they approached the grant competition, plus Q&A with participants.

This webinar should be useful for faculty at liberal arts colleges who are interested in applying for the Ford Fellowship in 2020 (or further into the future) and would like a sense of how colleagues at liberal arts colleges have approached the competition.

Four recent Guggenheim Fellowship winners will provide a panel discussion of how they approached the grant competition, plus Q&A with participants. The featured panelists will be Myriam J.A. Chancy, Hartley Burr Alexander Chair in the Humanities at Scripps College; John Cort, Professor Emeritus of Asian and Comparative Religions at Denison University; Pradip Malde, Professor of Art at the University of the South; and Philip Metres, Professor of English at John Carroll University. 

This webinar should be useful for faculty at liberal arts colleges who are interested in applying for the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2020 (or further into the future) and would like a sense of how colleagues at liberal arts colleges have approached the competition. The Guggenheim is a fairly unusual fellowship, so this webinar may provide some helpful insights even for faculty who are seasoned grant applicants.

Three recent American Council of Learned Societies’ Fellowship winners (Eduardo Moncada, assistant professor of political science at Barnard College; Christina Neilson, associate professor of Renaissance and Baroque art history at Oberlin College; and Brent Rodríguez-Plate, professor of religious studies and media studies at Hamilton College–project abstracts available at the links) will provide a panel discussion of how they approached the grant competition, plus Q&A with participants.

This webinar should be useful for faculty at liberal arts colleges who are interested in applying for the ACLS Fellowship and would like a sense of how colleagues at liberal arts colleges have approached the competition. The next two rounds of the ACLS Fellowship are restricted to untenured faculty members who earned their PhDs no more than eight years ago. All of our panelists received the award as untenured faculty, which we hope will make their advice particularly relevant to this year’s applicant pool.
