Summer 2007 Course Development Grants
The Center for Asian Studies (CAS) is an interdisciplinary research center that
supports research and teaching in all areas of Asian studies at the University
of Colorado at Boulder.
We are pleased to announce a new round of funding for faculty interested in
developing curriculum for new or revised courses about Asia. Below are brief
summaries of each course development grant. Important information about the
grants and application procedures can be found on the CAS website at
http://www.colorado.edu/cas/facultyawards.html.
US Department of Education National Resource Center Grant:
CAS will offer three faculty awards for the creation or significant revision of
an undergraduate course on Asia in any discipline. Priority will be given to
proposals relating to one of four curricular themes: 1) Asian Social Movements
and the Public Sphere (for ex., global media, information technologies,
creative industries, activism, religion and the public sphere, citizenship and
migration, global networks); 2) Global Responses to Environmental Change (for
ex., courses linking the physical processes of environmental change in Asian
contexts with broader environmental, social, and political issues); 3) The
Politics of Islam (for ex., contemporary Islam and its Asian political,
cultural, and social forms in the context of broader processes of
globalization; gender and transnationalism); or 4) Asian Arts and Popular
Culture (for ex., traditional and contemporary art forms and the media by which
they are conveyed within and across cultural boundaries)
US Department of Education UISFL Grant:
CAS will offer three faculty awards for the creation or significant revision of
an undergraduate course about West Asia in any discipline. This region
stretches from Pakistan through the Central Asian states, including Iran, the
Caucasus, Turkey, and regions of the Arab Middle East.
Freeman Undergraduate Initiative Grant:
CAS will award two faculty grants funded by the Freeman Foundation for the
creation or significant revision of an undergraduate course related to East
Asia.
All grants will be made in the amount of $2000 and will be paid as summer
salary. Proposals for all three grants are due to CAS on Friday, March 2,
2007. For more information, please see the CAS website or contact Danielle
Rocheleau Salaz, CAS Assistant Director, at Danielle.Salaz@colorado.edu or
