Lied Pavilion
Reception to follow 


Gregory Jay, Senior Director of the Cultures and Communities Program and Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, will talk about how his campus has addressed many of the challenges facing engaged scholarship, including questions of tenure and promotion, community partnerships, financial support, and the relationship between engaged research and learning.

 

Jay's visit is part of an ongoing series of events on publicly engaged scholarship in the humanities, arts and design sponsored by the School of the Arts, the Lied Center, and the Hall Center. Look for more events in the Spring semester. For more information, please contact one of the consortium's campus contacts: Liz Kowalchuk, Associate Dean, School of the Arts, at kowalchu@ku.edu, or Kristine Latta, Associate Director, Hall Center for the Humanities, at klatta@ku.edu.

 

The Gerda Hinkel Prize 2012   

 

The Gerda Henkel Foundation is inviting nominations of scholars for the Gerda Henkel Prize 2012. The deadline for receipt by the Foundation's administrative office of nominations of outstanding researchers in the area of archaeology, history, historical Islamic studies, history of art, history of law, and prehistory and early history is January 31, 2012. Nominations can also be for persons engaged in the areas the Foundation supports, namely "conflict research" and "Islam, the modern nation state and transnational movements".  

 

The Gerda Henkel Prize is worth 100,000 euros and has been bestowed every two years since 2006. The prize is destined to strengthen the specialist areas supported by the Gerda Henkel Foundation and raise awareness of topics that would otherwise not be at the center of public attention. The official prize-giving ceremony is scheduled for October 29, 2012 in Düsseldorf.

All graduate students are invited to attend these workshops, directed by the four students who received Hall Center Graduate Summer Research Awards. The talks will incline more to method, problem, or theory than to subject content, to increase their appeal to a wider audience.

 

Lunch provided. Please RSVP no later than November 28 to hallcenter@ku.edu or 785-864-4798.


Reminder: Award Opportunity Deadlines      

 

To apply for any of the following awards, visit our Competition Portal on the Hall Center website under the Grants and Fellowships tab. 

 

IMPORTANT:  For those applications requiring reference letters, applicants should begin their applications and submit the names of references well in advance of the deadline.  This will ensure that references have sufficient time to submit letters through the new automated system. After entering the names of your references, you may log out and return to the portal at a later time to complete the rest of your application.  We will only accept letters of reference submitted through the portal.  Reference letters submitted by fax, email, regular mail or by hand will not be accepted.
