ACMRS Faculty Fellows Program
Application deadline: September 15 each year
This program is open to all ASU
tenured and tenure-track faculty who are conducting original research in
medieval and Renaissance studies. Each year, one faculty member from one of
ASU's campuses will be selected by an ACMRS committee of three, that will include
at least one member of the ACMRS Advisory Board, to receive a two-course
teaching reduction during one semester of the following academic year. The
faculty member's course load during the award period will be borne by an ACMRS
Visiting Distinguished Professor selected in consultation with the faculty
member and the head of the faculty member's academic unit. Within a month of
completion of the fellowship, the faculty member will be required to submit a
brief (200- to 500-word) progress report on her or his project to the Director
of ACMRS, and in the semester following the fellowship, he or she will be
required to give a 40-minute presentation on the project in ACMRS's ad hoc
lecture series.
Applications will consist of 1) a 500-word maximum project description,
including a statement of purpose, scope, and significance, and an indication of
expected outcome (e.g., publication with a particular press); 2) an updated cv;
3) the names and email addresses of two scholars (at least one external) who
are willing to supply an informed assessment of the proposal; and 4), a letter
of support for the project from the head of the faculty member's academic unit
indicating that the Distinguished Visiting Professor would teach an appropriate
course or courses in medieval and Renaissance studies (i.e., not service
courses). These items should be sent as email attachments to acmrs@asu.edu with "ACMRS
Faculty Fellows Program" in the subject line.
This fellowship will be rotated among faculty, disciplines, and departments as
much as possible. All other things being equal, untenured applicants will be
given preference. Recipients will be eligible again for the award three years
after the completion of their fellowships. Any and all publications in any form
resulting from receipt of this award must contain a formal acknowledgment of
support from the ACMRS Faculty Fellows Program.
Application deadline is September 15.
