EH Research Professor : call for applications and Dr. Mason Dentinger lecture

Environmental Humanities Program has opened the next round of applications for the Research Professor award.  All faculty members (tenured, tenure-track, career-line) who wish to pursue environmental research from humanities perspectives are encouraged to apply.

EH Research Professor benefits include:

  • One-course release per year
  • Annual research funding of $1,500
  • An opportunity to present research to your peers in a public forum
  • Engagement with the intellectual life of the EH community

The EH Research Professor is supported by generous funding from the Kendeda Foundation and our endowment. We will offer one professorship for 2023-2024, with the expectation of renewal for 2024-25.

Applications should include an abstract, a research proposal and a letter of support from your chair or director as detailed in the cover sheet. These are due to EH Administrative Assistant Cory Pike by 12/1/22. The EH Steering Committee will evaluate the proposals promptly and submit its recommendation to Dean Hollis Robbins. The Dean will notify applicants of a final decision before the new year. 

Previous recipients of this honor are Rachel Mason Dentinger (History), Katharina Gerstenberger (World Languages & Cultures), Carlos Santana (Philosophy), Ben Cohen (History), and Kevin Deluca (Communication).

Dr. Rachel Mason Dentinger, the current Research Professor, will give a talk about her research on 11/22/22 at 4p in CTIHB Room 145 Jewel Box. Light refreshments. Zoom option: bit.ly/EHPROF.
