Project Pericles invites applications from Carleton faculty to its “Periclean Faculty Leaders” program, which will identify champions of civic engagement in the classroom, on the campus, and in the community. The PFL program will encourage faculty members in a wide variety of disciplines to create and teach courses that address issues of social concern, enrich curriculum, and enhance student social interest and involvement. Periclean Faculty Leaders – either or or two for each participating college – will also organize campus-wide activities and/or prepare an academic paper or research project. Faculty in disciplines in which civic engagement is not traditionally a focus should be encouraged to apply. The PFL program is supported by the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations with additional support from the Eugene M. Lang Foundation.
Interested faculty members can use the attached materials to prepare applications that can be submitted as a package by Tuesday, February 21, 2017. Award announcements will be made in April 2017.
