Fellows' appointments are subject to the consent of their department chair and the approval of the Dean. Tradition has restricted fellowships to professors in humanities departments of the College of Arts and Sciences, though faculty members holding regular appointments elsewhere in the university are welcome to apply if their work is closely related to the year's theme and if their Dean is willing to provide their salary during their appointment at the Society. Faculty Fellows receive leaves of absence from their departments, but not from Cornell; the College of Arts and Sciences has been allowing the time spent as a Faculty Fellow to count in computing regular sabbatic leave. A Faculty Fellow is paid the salary he or she would have received from his or her department, plus Cornell's contribution to fringe benefits. (Where necessary, departments negotiate with the Dean for funds to help provide replacement teaching.) Office space and clerical assistance in matters related to the Fellow's research are provided in the Andrew D. White Center for the Humanities. Faculty Fellows are released from, and are expected to decline, the usual departmental, college, or university obligations. An exception is normally made for supervision of graduate student research in cases where an interruption would be detrimental to the student. Fellows are expected to spend most of their time in research and writing, but they offer a weekly seminar during one semester of their residency on a topic related to their research and in keeping with the Society's focal theme (below). We prefer that these seminars be somewhat experimental and interdisciplinary — in any case, not what you normally offer to satisfy established curricular requirements of your department. APPLICATION PROCEDURES Please send the following material to Mary Ahl, Society for the Humanities, A. D. White House (note especially item 5). 1. The names of three referees willing to supply confidential statements. One of the referees should be a colleague at Cornell; the other two, scholars at other institutions. Please inform your referees of our focal theme, your proposed plans for teaching and research, and ask them to forward their letters by October 31st. Five copies each of the following 2. Curriculum vitae 3. No more than three of your articles 4. A brief statement concerning the research you expect to undertake during the tenure of your fellowship and how it relates to the theme for 2011/2012. 5. Short description of the seminars you propose to offer, suitable for the University Course Catalogue.
