The University of Connecticut has been selected by the Whiting Foundation to nominate one or two humanities faculty members for the Whiting Public Engagement Fellowship for 2017-2018. This fellowship program, now in its second year, “aims to identify professors with a demonstrated commitment to using their intellectual expertise to reach wider audiences and to fund ambitious projects designed to have direct and significant impact on a specific public outside the academy.” To be eligible for consideration, nominees must either have become tenured between fall 2011 and fall 2016 or be an untenured faculty member with at least two years of service. Fields of research eligible for consideration may be found here.
Applications must be received by July 15 for consideration by the university’s selection committee. To receive application instructions contact CLAS Associate Dean Shirley Roe.
