The deadline to apply for a 2025-26 fellowship is Dec. 6, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Background:<br \/>\nA UW System Center of Excellence, UWM\u2019s Center for 21st Century Studies (C21) builds a community of scholars to address the pressing issues of our time. C21 centers the humanities in its belief that innovation comes from diversity of opinions, disciplines, and experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Theme:<br \/>\nIn dialogue with our advisory council and community partners, C21 has identified SLOW as the theme that will inform our offerings for three years (2024-2027). Slow movements \u2014 across food, cities, science, scholarship and beyond \u2014 call attention to embodied processes of building and maintaining collective life that resist the fast-paced efficiency models, rapid rewards and short attention spans that increasingly dominate human responses to 21st\u202fcentury social, political and ecological challenges.\u202fThe theme is intentionally broad to capture a wide range of scholarship and practice while encouraging innovative methodologies.<\/p>\n<p>C21\u2019s 2025-2026 programming focuses on SLOW CARE. Across health, climate, labor, technology and more, we ask how pacing affects the institutions, policies, cultural infrastructures, and social and political processes that support or disassemble an ethic of care. We welcome multiple interpretations of this open topic, including explorations of time, pace, and speed as they relate to pressing issues of our time and\/or work inside and outside the university. Methodological, pedagogical, and research topical interests are all welcome in relation to this theme.<\/p>\n<p>Research projects:<br \/>\nApplicants should propose a research project related to this thematic area.\u202f Projects can be individual or collaborative.\u202f Examples of projects include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Researching \/ preparing material for public presentation in a wide variety of forms including (but not limited to) monographs, essays, podcasts, performances; art installation\/exhibits, community programs; digital interfaces; archives or artifacts.<\/li>\n<li>Researching for \/ development of large-scale collaborative projects (grant proposals, building networks etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Researching \/ preparing syllabi for innovative, interdisciplinary team-teaching initiatives or credit-bearing programs such as certificates, minors, degrees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Terms\/eligibility for UWM faculty:<br \/>\nUWM faculty in all departments who hold the rank of assistant, associate or full professor may apply. Faculty Fellows receive a reduction in their teaching responsibilities by one course per semester and will be relieved of major committee work. (*As necessary and to the degree possible, C21 will consider alternative course reduction arrangements for faculty outside L&amp;S.) C21 provides each fellow with access to our inspiring office spaces on the ninth floor of Curtin Hall and with research support as our resources permit. Fellows are expected to participate in C21 Fellows\u2019 research seminars and to attend C21 public programs throughout the year. No one may hold a C21 fellowship more than twice in a five-year period. Active C21 Fellows may not serve on the C21 Advisory Council in the same year.<\/p>\n<p>Terms\/eligibility for UWM academic staff:<br \/>\nUWM academic staff in all departments may apply for a fellowship. In these cases, C21 will work with academic staff on a case-by-case basis to provide compensation equal to a reduction in one course per semester. C21 provides each fellow with access to our inspiring office spaces on the ninth floor of Curtin Hall and with research support as our resources permit. Fellows are expected to participate in C21 Fellows\u2019 research seminars and to attend C21 public programs throughout the year. No one may hold a C21 fellowship more than twice in a five-year period. Active C21 Fellows may not serve on the C21 Advisory Council in the same year.<\/p>\n<p>Terms\/eligibility for Universities of Wisconsin faculty:<br \/>\nThrough generous Universities of Wisconsin funding, C21 has the capacity for two to four UW System faculty fellows to join the UWM cohort. Faculty at the assistant, associate or full professor levels across the comprehensive universities and branches of the Universities of Wisconsin are eligible for this opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>UW System fellows may apply for a full year or one semester fellowship. Funding in the amount of $10,000 for a one-year fellowship and $5,000 for a one-semester fellowship will be granted by the Universities of Wisconsin to the fellow\u2019s home institution. It is up to each department to determine how these funds will cover a reduction in a fellow\u2019s courseload as appropriate to each home institution, with research support provided by the Universities of Wisconsin as resources allow. C21 provides each fellow with access to our inspiring office spaces on the ninth floor of Curtin Hall and with research support as our resources permit. Fellows are expected to participate in C21 Fellows\u2019 research seminars and to attend C21 public programs throughout the year. No one may hold a C21 fellowship more than twice in a five-year period. Active C21 fellows may not serve on the C21 Advisory Council in the same year.<\/p>\n<p>* As necessary and to the degree possible, C21 will consider alternative course reduction arrangements based on the fellowship period. Please email the center (<a href=\"mailto:c21@uwm.edu\">c21@uwm.edu<\/a>) if you have any questions or would like more details about the funding granted to the home institution to support course reductions.<\/p>\n<p>Procedures:<br \/>\nApplication Deadline: Dec. 6, 2024<\/p>\n<p>Submit a single PDF including the following components as an email attachment to c21@uwm.edu:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An application cover sheet (Available at <a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/opportunities\/faculty-and-staff\/call-for-fellows\/\">https:\/\/uwm.edu\/c21\/opportunities\/faculty-and-staff\/call-for-fellows\/<\/a>)<br \/>\n&#8211;NOTE: Your chair must sign this cover sheet to confirm that they are aware and willing to have your teaching load reduced and have you released from service.<\/li>\n<li>A four-page statement (roughly 1,000 words) that describes your research project and specifically addresses:<br \/>\n&#8212;
