Dear Fellows, please consider submitting your work produced in 2020 and 2021 for one of the annual awards from the Working-Class Studies Association. Though you may not explicitly locate your work within “working-class studies,” those of you working on CUNY communities, precarity, race/class/gender intersections, and many other topics likely have significant overlap with this growing field. Awards are given out for different types of academic and creative writing, including books, scholarly articles, and media/journalism. Submissions are due by February 1, 2021. Full details here:

Being Intentional about Our Collaborative Writing Projects + New Resources and Opportunities
Dear FFPP Fellows,
A snowy beginning to the spring 2021 semester brings two new videos, plus another opportunity for working with the Transformative Learning in the Humanities initiative.
In the latest installment of our “Mentor Writing Stories” series, Ted Ingram reflects on ways to be intentional about our collaborative writing and editing projects.
See all of our Mentor Writing Stories on our updated Virtual Orientation page.
Ken Wissoker’s latest talk to the CUNY community, “From Dissertation to First Book: A Practical and Conceptual Guide,” is now available. Ken is Senior Executive Editor of Duke University Press and director of Intellectual Publics at the Graduate Center, CUNY, as well as a longtime friend of FFPP. Thank you to Ken and Chelsea Largent for their good work for CUNY.
Finally, applications are now open for the Transformative Learning in the Humanities 2021-22 Faculty Seminar.
Happy New Year from FFPP!
On behalf of our Mentors, Kelly and I wish all Fellows past and present a happy and healthy 2021. This past difficult year has taught us, once again, that we could not ask for better colleagues, nor could we be more excited about the writing projects you will advance in the months ahead.
Here is to taking some much needed rest and to crafting a reasonable writing schedule over the break. For the 2021 Fellows, we look forward to our Writing Groups in the spring–they are the heart of the Program. And to everyone, many thanks for making FFPP such a special place to do our good work.
All our best wishes,
Matt Brim and Kelly Baker Josephs

Award Pre-Proposal Support from the Research Foundation CUNY
The Office of Award Pre-Proposal Support (APPS) at the Research Foundation CUNY has been working hard to keep us connected to opportunities for funding in the Arts and Humanities as well as STEM fields. The resources below will help you begin planning to apply for future grants and fellowships. Please take a look!
-
Pathways to Funding for Arts and Humanities Projects (PowerPoint) with accompanying Speaking Notes
-
A two-page Guide to Local Arts and Humanities Funders (look here for support beyond the usual suspects!)
-
APPS has filmed several of its workshops for future faculty development needs. We encourage the FFPP cohort to check out some of these prior talks to familiarize themselves with research development themes of interest. See the RF YouTube channel here.
-
COVID-19 funding advisories for both STEM/health faculty and arts and culture faculty. The STEM/health document is focused on urgent research projects, while the arts and culture document is focused on relief grants for those with loss of gig income and medical bills.
