SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH COUNCIL / EURASIA PROGRAM / 2005 FELLOWSHIP
COMPETITION

Eurasia Teaching Fellowship

 

The Application Submission Deadline for the 2005 Eurasia Teaching
Fellowship Competition has been extended until January 26, 2005 9:00 PM
EST 

At the SSRC, postdoctoral research grants have allowed young faculty
members to expand upon their research interests after having completed
(and often published) their dissertation work. Recently, the SSRC
Eurasia Program expanded its support to faculty for their classroom
activities as well. The Eurasia Program's Teaching Fellowships encourage
and support faculty members at all career levels in their efforts to
impart their own knowledge and expertise to their students. 

These awards of $10,000 support the creation of original and innovative
course curricula. Funds will support the rethinking and reframing of
courses in the humanities and social sciences that directly relate to
the whole or part of Eurasia. Courses must be wholly new, or substantial
revisions of a course previously taught. A strong candidate will have a
proven track record of research and teaching in his/her field of
Eurasian studies. Fellowships are particularly appropriate for faculty
with heavy teaching loads and with proven desires to push the teaching
of Eurasian studies in innovative directions and to incorporate
contemporary research and thinking on Eurasian studies into new teaching
curricula for use in classrooms. 

The SSRC invites proposals that have an interdisciplinary or comparative
outlook, encompass a diverse range of literatures and/or source media
(including audio, video, and web content), and make appropriate use of
various pedagogical approaches. Proposals that target unique and
important student audiences, provide a substantial addition or
significantly diversify existing departmental and/or university
curricula, or that otherwise fill an important niche or  instructional
gap are especially encouraged. 

Final awards are dependent upon funding approval. All selected awardees
will be expected to demonstrate departmental and institutional support
for adding the proposed course to the university's list of offered
courses within a two-year period of time. All applicants must be US
citizens or permanent residents teaching at US institutions.

 

Funding for this program is provided by the U.S. Department of State
under the Program for Research and Training on Eastern Europe and the
Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII).  All
fellowships awarded under this program are contingent upon the receipt
of funding from the U.S. Department of State.
