Duke University
Deadline: February 10, 2012

The Duke University Humanities Writ Large Visiting Faculty Fellowship Program is seeking proposals for the 2012-13 academic year, made possible by a generous grant from the A.W. Mellon Foundation. This funding will allow faculty members from Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs) and / or Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to participate in a comprehensive effort to redefine the role of the humanities in undergraduate education. Duke is committed to reasserting the importance of the humanities by connecting humanistic inquiry broadly across domains of knowledge and linking it to an active, integrative model of education. These Fellowships are meant to mesh individual research projects with larger collaborative ventures already ongoing at Duke. The Fellows may be tied to innovative intellectual projects that involve undergraduates and that are conceptualized within or across humanities and interpretive social sciences departments; with interdisciplinary centers or institutes or interdisciplinary working groups; with Emerging Humanities Networks, or with Humanities Labs (Haiti Lab, BorderWork(s), and GreaterThanGames). Each Fellow must be committed to the goal of connecting humanists and the humanities to new neighbors and adjacencies, sometimes outside of traditional disciplines, in ways that make the humanities a central part of new knowledge projects.
