Announcements

The Call For Proposals is now available for the 2021-2022 Faculty Fellowship Publication Program (FFPP), sponsored by the Office of the Dean for Recruitment and Diversity.

Full-time, untenured CUNY faculty are eligible to submit proposals. Previous FFPP fellows are the best spokespeople for the wonders of this program. Please share FFPP details with your colleagues and encourage them to apply. More information about the program, including the CFP, application instructions, and important meetings dates, can be found HERE.

The 2021-22 application deadline is Friday, October 29. Fellows will be notified by November 19.

Dear FFPP Fellows,

We thought you may wish to know about the following opportunity and event upcoming in the next few days (even as you prepare for Spring semester).

The opportunity is for TLH support in organizing your own event. Proposals for Event Co-sponsorship with the Transformative Learning in the Humanities initiative are due on January 15th (this Friday). You can join the conversation in the TLH Group on the CUNY Academic Commons and the application form can be found here.

And the event of interest is right in line with our mission here at FFPP of moving toward publication. It is sure to be helpful, especially to new Fellows: “From Dissertation to First Book: A Practical and Conceptual Guide” by Ken Wissoker, Senior Executive Editor of Duke University Press and director of Intellectual Publics at the Graduate Center, CUNY.

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

Academic Directors — Faculty Fellowship Publication Program

The FFPP Academic Directors and Mentors offer our warmest congratulations to the spring 2021 Fellows! We look forward to another productive year of writing, peer review, and professional development at CUNY!
