Women's Studies Grants

The Women's Studies Program announces course development summer grants to encourage new undergraduate courses on women and gender. Two grants of $4,000 each will be made to members of Penn's standing faculty. Courses developed through these grants should be listed in the faculty member's department or program and must also be cross-listed with Women's Studies. Courses must have at least half of their content focused on women or gender. Any course funded by these grants must be offered in the 2004-05 academic year or in the fall of 2005.

Proposed courses should focus on subject areas not currently offered by the applicant's department or program. Preference will be given to courses that have wide appeal to both female and male students. Courses may not have already been supported by a course development grant from another Penn unit.

Grant funds may be used for graduate and undergraduate support, course implementation and course support expenses, and/or summer salary (If taken as salary, sums for employee benefits and tax withholding will be subtracted). 

Criteria for acceptance:

  1. Academic Excellence
  2. Improving students' understanding of gender in the applicant's discipline or in an interdisciplinary framework
  3. Filling a gap in the curriculum
  4. Providing research opportunities
  5. Sustainability

Proposals must include the following:

  1. Cover Page containing the applicant's name, title, department, school, mailing address and e-mail address; and the title of the proposed course
  2. 100-word abstract of the proposal (including a description of how the course addresses gender issues not currently in the curriculum)
  3. Two to four page proposal that includes course objectives, topics to be covered, pedagogical approaches, and course requirements
  4. List of courses taught in the last three years
  5. Brief CV
  6. A signed statement from your department chair approving the cross-listing with Women's Studies and specifying the term during which the course would be offered.

An original and 5 copies of the proposal should be submitted to the Women's Studies Program, 411 Logan Hall, 249 S. 36th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6304. The application deadline is May 21, 2004.
