Supported Groups at CHAT
We offer four basic arrangements for assisting faculty and students working together on shared areas of intellectual inquiry. In common, all groups help to facilitate interdisciplinary conversation on topics in the humanities and interpretive social sciences, whether bringing new perspectives to bear on old problems or defining entirely new areas of inquiry. Further information on each program is provided in its attached guidelines (PDF format).
Deadline: September 22, 2008. Designed to facilitate research by assisting faculty and students who wish to work together exploring new areas of intellectual inquiry. Past Study Groups have examined a wide array of topics, including gender and sexuality, disability, performative texts, the Civil War, aestheticism, area studies and period studies.
CHAT supplies Study Groups with a physical space for meeting and a $300 budget for expenses. Minimum of four (4) participants.
Deadline: September 22, 2008. These groups provide robust support for faculty and graduate students from different departments and disciplines working on shared research interests. Groups meet monthly (or more often) throughout the year. Interdisciplinary Research Groups should seed new and vital research activity and are not meant to provide ongoing support of existing programs. Funds can be used to support meeting costs, photocopying, visiting speakers, and so forth. Proposals that engage emerging fields of inquiry and/or are linked to a interdisciplinary curriculum are especially encouraged, as are group models other than a speaker series. Normally awards will not exceed $1,500. Minimum of six (6) participants.
Deadline: Revolving. Consortia are groups at Temple that work collaboratively with similar groups at other academic institutions and have regular, coordinated activities. CHAT will award up to $2000 per year to successful applicants who obtain matching funds from at least one other institution. Consortia should be designed to promote ongoing, interdisciplinary research in the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Activities can take the form of regularly scheduled meetings to discuss new or important work; annual conferences or symposia; public lecture series; publications projects; or other forms of collaboration between scholars at different institutions. Funding is for a maximum of three (3) years. Funds may be used for honoraria, rental feels, publicity, and similar expenses.
No Deadline. Although CHAT dedicates most of its resources to programs that it initiates, it reserves some funds for proposals it receives from individuals, departments, or colleges within the Temple community. We encourage interdisciplinary proposals and proposals that have pledges of support from more than one department or program, including participation from units outside the College of Liberal Arts. CHAT will consider providing grants of $100 to $200 to supplement other funding for such proposals.
