FACULTY SEMINARS 2011-12: Call for Proposals

IRCPL is currently soliciting proposals for faculty seminars to be held in Fall 2011 or Spring 2012. These semester-long seminars bring together Columbia faculty and colleagues of peer institutions for investigations of interdisciplinary topics. Past seminars were on such topics as Networks, Toleration, Blood and Ghosts (to view past seminars and their participants, please visit: http://ircpl.org/seminars).

If you would like to organize a faculty seminar in the Fall 2011 or Spring 2012, please submit a proposal with a 1-2 page description of subject and a list of likely participants. It should also indicate anticipated results of the seminar, such as particular courses, a collection of essays, public lectures or symposia. Each seminar may have up to two organizers, who will each receive a stipend of $2000. Each seminar will also be provided with $2000 for expenses such as books, catering and materials.

Deadline for Fall 2011 Seminars: June 1st, 2011

Deadline for Spring 2012 Seminars: October 1st, 2011
