The Seymour N. Logan Faculty Fellowship
for Faculty in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Thanks to the generosity of two of our most loyal alumni, Todd and Linda
Logan, we will once again be offering the Seymour N. Logan Faculty Fellowship
for the academic biennium 2007-09. The Logans established this award in 1988 as
an expression of their appreciation for the outstanding and inspirational
teaching that they experienced during their years at Clark. Provost David Angel
has appointed a committee to select the next Logan Faculty Fellowship holder
consisting of Anne Geller, Shelly Tenenbaum, Nancy Budwig, Doug Little, and Judy
Miller (chair).
As the accompanying
fact sheet describes in greater detail, the Logan Fellowship provides
$10,000 in direct support over two years to develop an innovative new
undergraduate course and to organize a symposium on the related topic. The goal
is to bring Clark faculty and undergraduate students together with other
prominent scholars for lively intellectual exchanges. Over the years Logan
Fellows have included Martyn Bowden, Bonnie Lee Grad, Janette Greenwood, Shelly
Tenenbaum, Eric Gordy, Anne Geller, and Gino DiIorio. In the most recent
project, DiIorio and Geller offered a new course, "Writing Out Loud”, to help
student writers consider how the application of spoken word and performance
strategies could strengthen their written work. In conjunction with the course,
Geller and DiIorio organized the Seymour N. Logan Symposium, which brought four
award-winning writers to campus to lead small-group workshops with their
students and to give a free public lecture.
The deadline for the 2009 Seymour L. Logan Faculty Fellowship funding is
to be announced in the next few months. Please check back to learn when
applications are due. I hope that all of you will
give serious consideration to applying for the Logan Fellowship, which is
emblematic of the learning through inquiry on which we at Clark pride ourselves.
Don’t hesitate to contact
Judy
Miller should you require further information.
