Proposals being accepted for WVU Stitzel endowment
The West VirginiaUniversityCenter for Women’s Studies is accepting proposals for the Judith Gold Stitzel Endowment for Excellence in Women’s Studies Teaching and Learning. The endowment supports faculty who integrate women’s studies scholarship into the fabric of teaching and learning.
The fund was established to ensure a continuing and vital presence for women’s studies as an academic discipline at WVU, and supports teaching and learning that is sensitive to gender and that places women’s concerns, ideas, perspectives and interests as much at the center of the scholarly teaching enterprise as men’s have been, officials say.
Examples include, but are not limited to, designing new courses and re-conceptualizing existing courses and course modules: instruction may be in traditional classroom settings or via electronic media. Project proposals that do not directly affect student learning, e.g., faculty curriculum workshops, are eligible when they support the goals of the endowment. One proposal will be funded for a maximum amount of $4,000.
The application deadline is March 12, and the form and further information are available at http://www.as.wvu.edu/wmst/app_stitzel.htm. For more information, contact Barb Howe, director of the Center for Women’s Studies, at Barbara.Howe@mail.wvu.edu or 293-2339, ext. 1155.
