Mellon Teaching Fellowships at CRASSH
Call for Proposals 2012-13
Open to faculty members of the University of Cambridge
CRASSH is now soliciting proposals from members of Cambridge University faculty for collaborative seminar courses to be taught at CRASSH in Michaelmas Term 2012 or Lent 2013. Courses should be co-taught by two people from different disciplinary areas, Faculties, or Schools. Proposals should present their rationale in relation to interdisciplinarity and/or disciplinary innovation. These courses should not normally be ones that could be offered within a single Faculty or existing curricular structure. Proposals will be selected by a committee including the two Heads of Schools.
CRASSH seminar courses should be designed to encourage dialogue across disciplines, stimulate research-led teaching, or pilot a course for a new MPhil. or Tripos paper. They should be designed with graduate students (including PhD students) in mind as participants. The Teaching Fellowship scheme will provide compensation directly to the Faculties and/or colleges at the rate of £6.5K per fellow. Courses will count towards the Teaching Fellow's Faculty/University teaching stint and release them from other teaching during the term of their Fellowship and they will be expected to become part of the CRASSH research community. Information about previous recipients is available here.
Joint proposals, including a rationale, detailed description, outline syllabus and term requested should be submitted electronically to the Administrator, CRASSH, Alison Richard Building, 7 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DT, accompanied by both CVs. Prospective co-applicants are invited to consult the Director about their proposed course and should have discussed their application ahead of time with Faculty and/or college, who should supply a letter of support to accompany application.
