OPPORTUNITIES

1.    GRANTS FOR MELLON FACULTY AND INSTITUTIONAL RENEWAL

ACS is offering grants in faculty and institutional renewal, supported by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. In the most recent round of grants awarded in January 2009, 22 ACS faculty received grants. These faculty were from Birmingham-Southern College, Centre College, Centenary College of Louisiana, Davidson College, Furman University, Millsaps College, University of Richmond, Rollins College, Southwestern University and Washington and Lee University. In the next round of grants, pre-proposals are due on October 1, 2009. For those pre-proposals that are approved, final proposals will be due on January 15, 2010. We encourage you to read the various materials and consider preparing a proposal for consideration. We are accepting proposals for individual and collaborative projects at one institution or across several ACS institutions. Visit the website at http://www.colleges.org/faculty_renewal/index.html to view the guidelines and selection criteria and to download the required cover page. If you have further questions about the program or process, please contact Marcia White at mwhite@colleges.org.

2.    ENVIRONMENTAL WORKSHOP, SEPTEMBER 11-12, 2009

ACS will help organize an environmental workshop September 11-12, 2009, for key sustainability players on each campus to share information about activities such as the progress towards Presidents Climate Commitment action plans (ten campuses are now signatories), LEED buildings, environmental studies upgrades, research, extra-curricular activities, green events, and the like. For those institutions that have already hired sustainability professionals, we will invite them to speak with the group about their work. Time will also be set aside for brainstorming about new program funding.

Furman University has generously offered to host the workshop, and will provide approximately three meals at cost (attendees will be asked to pay a registration fee to cover these meals). Participants will need to cover their travel and accommodation expenses.

All interested faculty and staff are invited. Campuses are encouraged to send their new postdoctoral fellows as well. For more information, please contact Elizabeth MacNabb, emacnabb@centre.edu.

4. ROLLINS TO HOST MEETING OF THE AGRICULTURAL HISTORY SOCIETY

Rollins College will host the annual meeting of the Agricultural History Society (Global Connections: The Context of Agricultural and Rural Life) on June 10-12, 2010. The deadline for Submissions: October 1, 2009. Agriculture and rural life are tied to specific places, but those places are in turn bound to larger communities, often with global connections. The AHS invites proposals for papers that address the particular ways in which people and places have shaped agriculture and rural living in their local communities as well as how rural ecosystems, production, processing, and consumption tie farmers and rural people to distant people, places, and institutions. Topics from any location or time period will be welcome. In the interest of promoting understanding of the context of agricultural and rural life, the program committee wishes to encourage submissions of interdisciplinary and cross-national panels and proposals of all types and formats, including traditional papers/commentary sessions, thematic panel discussions, roundtables on recent books, and poster presentations. The program committee will consider submissions of full panels and individual papers, as well as paired or individual posters.

Complete session proposals should include a chair, participants, and, if applicable, a commentator. Please include the following information:

An abstract of no more than 200 words for the session as a whole;
A prospectus of no more than 250 words for each presentation;
A mailing address, email, phone number, and affiliation for each participant; and
A CV of no more than a page for each participant.

Individual submissions should include all the above except a session abstract.

Please send submissions, in Microsoft Word or RTF format, to melissa.walker@converse.edu.

Alternatively, applicants may mail five hard copies of their proposals to:
Melissa Walker, Chair
Converse College
580 East Main St.
Spartanburg, SC 29302
