The Sherl K. Coleman and Margaret E. Guitteau Professorship in the Humanities
Successful applicants will receive:
- $4,500 as a stipend in the summer to prepare the course
- up to $2,500 in course-enhancement funds, to be used at the instructor’s discretion, during the quarter she or he teaches the class
- a quarter’s research leave, in residence at the Humanities Center, to pursue a research project related to the course
As with regular OHC research fellowships, the faculty member continues to receive his or her regular full-time salary during the research term.
The Coleman-Guitteau Teaching-and-Research Professorship in the Humanities is intended for University of Oregon faculty who teach undergraduate interdisciplinary humanities courses in their own departments. The program was designed to encourage faculty members to employ the Socratic method of inquiry in their undergraduate classroom teaching, and to develop courses that address basic questions of human nature, conduct, and culture.
This professorship is an innovative program geared towards (though not limited to) faculty in mid-career or later who are interested in exploring new areas of inquiry. Our goal is to encourage faculty to be more experimental in their teaching, and to think of the classroom as a laboratory for emerging projects that represent new, bold departures from their previous research interests.
The Coleman-Guitteau Teaching-and-Research Professorship provides faculty with a teaching fellowship during one academic quarter, and then with a research fellowship the following quarter to pursue full-time research on one or more of the topics explored in the course. Both the teaching and the research quarters must fall within a single academic year, and the teaching term should precede the term devoted to research.
For more information, or to request an application form and guidelines, please contact the Oregon Humanities Center at 346-3934.
