Engage

Engage will provide financial support to tenure‐track faculty members, especially early‐ and mid‐career faculty, to organize 2‐3 day workshops focused on advancing a piece of scholarship that is in final draft form. An individual Liberal Arts faculty member with a final draft of a single authored or co-authored work in the form of monographs, 2‐3 related journal articles can apply to Engage.

 

Funds can be used to invite 3‐5 leading scholars and/or practitioners in the field to visit campus or host one or several virtual consultations and advise on ways to strengthen/improve the work‐ in‐progress. Engage awardees are expected to acknowledge Engage grant at workshops and publication of the books and articles. The maximum award amounts are $5,000.00 for virtual sessions and $10,000.00 for in-person workshops.

 

The unit heads will communicate this opportunity to the faculty, solicit pre-proposals, and review them at the unit level. The faculty member whose proposal was selected and endorsed by the head will submit the selected proposal through InfoReady at the following link:

 

 

 

Awards will support virtual consultations, travel, and accommodations for workshop participants, meals and meeting spaces during workshop sessions, and other related costs associated with hosting 3‐5 guests for several days.
