coe-fac: Judaic Studies Curriculum Enrichment Grants

[Lisa Fortin]

 Sent on behalf of Harry Wonham, CAS Divisional Dean for Humanities:
Dear Colleagues,
The Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies is pleased to announce Curriculum Enrichment Grants to support the new JDST curriculum. Funded by the program to help revitalize our classroom offerings, these grants provide a $5,000 stipend to support course development. Recipients must agree to teach the newly designed course twice over a three–year period. The awards will go to highly creative proposals that have the potential to draw students into the program and provide context and depth for core JDST courses. Winners will receive half of the stipend up front and the remaining funds upon the initial completion of the course. Up to four such awards will be given.
Please submit a one-page description of the course noting how it intersects with the JDST curriculum along with a detailed syllabus in one of the following three areas. Since these are topics courses, applicants are encouraged to compose the syllabus according to their respective fields of expertise and emphasize their current research. On a separate page, applicants should describe how the course would be designed for both face-to-face learning and remote delivery.
JDST 351: Top Jewish Philosophy and History
Possible topics include but are not limited to 20th century Jewish History, the Jewish Enlightenment, the philosophy of Martin Buber, etc.
JDST 352: Top Jewish Literature and Culture
Possible topics include but are not limited to the writings of Franz Kafka, the Shtetl, Jews of the Pacific Northwest, etc.
JDST 353: Top Jewish Image and Media
Possible topics include but are not limited to Jewish Hollywood, Jewish Graphic Novels, Jewish Humor on TV, etc.
Deadline for proposals is September 20, 2020 at 4:00 p.m.  Recipients will be announced by on or before October 10.  Applications and questions should be sent to Professor Gina Herrmann, Interim Director of the Harold Schnitzer Family Program in Judaic Studies, gah at uoregon.edu<mailto:gah at uoregon.edu>.
