October 2000 News

Welcome to Literature colleagues, students, and staff as we begin the academic year 2000-2001. I hope you had a pleasant and productive summer.

Let me begin by thanking you for your concentrated efforts over the past two years as we have faced the challenges and opportunities in the Humanities, generally, and in comparative literature and cultural studies, particularly. In this, my last year as chair, we will continue these efforts, especially by focusing on the ways in which we wish to grow as a department in the decade ahead. This will involve in-depth discussions about new faculty positions, new areas of study, the refinement of our graduate program, and our relation and collaboration with programs, colleges, and departments across the campus.

We have two new faculty members this year: Jin-kyung Lee, Assistant Professor of Comparative Asian Literature and Culture, and Nicole King, Associate Professor of 20th c. African American Literature and Culture. Please join me in welcoming them to our Department.

Faculty recruitment will be a continuing effort this year. We will be recruiting again for two positions that we did not fill successfully last year: in Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature and Culture, and in African American Dramatic Literature (this latter will be a joint appointment with the Department of Theatre and Dance). In addition, I am happy to report that recruitment is now underway for two new ladder-rank faculty positions: in Literatures of the Americas, and in Fiction Writing and Literature. Candidates for all four searches will be visiting the campus in January and February. I thank you in advance for your interested participation in these searches.

My best wishes for a successful academic year.

"Reshaping the Americas: Narratives of Place," University of California Humanities Research Institute (HRI) Conferences, April and May 2001
HRI, located in Irvine, California, invites paper proposals for two four- to five-day international conferences that will convene in April and May 2001. The conferences form part of a larger three-year initiative, "Reshaping the Americas: Narratives of Place," funded by a grant from the Ford Foundation. Scholars, activists, public intellectuals, and artists engaged in research or praxis on one of the following themes are invited to submit proposals for papers: Language, National Formations, and Personal Identities; The Third World in the First; New Social Movements; and The Importance of Religious Identities. Approximately 15 full fellowships (travel, room and board) will be awarded for participation in each of the two planned conferences. Graduate students are eligible to apply, particularly those already engaged in writing dissertations on topics they propose. Applications most be postmarked by January 15, 2001, and may be obtained by contacting HRI at (949) 824-8177; UCHRI@uci.edu; or http://www.hri.uci.edu

Applications received after this date will be returned. Grants generally do not exceed $7,000. Priority is given to junior and new faculty with no extramural support, to Academic Senate members over non-Senate members, and to new projects that will lead to extramural support. Second applications in the same fiscal year will receive low priority. Funds may be awarded for supplies, field work, research and general assistance, travel for research purposes, and equipment. Limited funds are available to support the final preparation of manuscripts for submission to publishers. Additional information and application forms are available at http://www-senate.ucsd.edu/forms.htm or from Nancy Ho-Wu.

Intercampus Exchange Program Grants (Academic Senate Committee on Research)
Airfare is provided to Academic Senate members and registered graduate students for travel to other UC campuses for research study, and to faculty (Senate members) invited to UCSD from other UC campuses for the purpose of consultations which will benefit UCSD faculty. These funds may not be used for travel to attend conferences or present papers. Awards are made for the lowest published airfare not to exceed $250, or mileage in lieu of airfare, but not per diem. See Nancy Ho-Wu for an application.

UC President's 2001-2002 Research Fellowships in the Humanities
The fellowships, awarded in an annual competition modeled on that of the NEH, provide salary support to approximately 18 UC faculty per year who are conducting research in the Humanities. Active ladder-rank faculty are eligible to apply, and Assistant Professors will be given special consideration. The maximum award is $25,000, but combined funding from all sources may not exceed the fellow's regular salary. In order to receive an award, a fellow must accrue a minimum of two quarters of teaching credit towards sabbatical leave by June 30 in the year in which the fellowships are announced. The fellowship must be used in the academic year following the year the fellowship is awarded. All applicants, except junior faculty, must also apply to appropriate extramural agencies that offer funding for their research fields; junior faculty are encouraged, but not required, to do so. Applications are available from Greg Llacer at OGSR (858-534-3556) and must be received by October 13, 2000. Additional information is available at http://www.ucop.edu/research/prfh/

The Shared Research Group consists of two senior faculty fellows and two postdoctoral fellows. The two successful faculty applicants identify candidates for the postdoctoral positions (selection of the faculty fellows' own former graduate students is discouraged). One Shared Fellowship will be awarded for the 2001-2002 academic year. The application deadline is also November 15, 2000.
