Faculty summer research 2009
SUMMER RESEARCH GUIDELINES 2009
DESCRIPTION:
This grant provides support of faculty scholarly activity during the summer months. Scholarship is broadly defined to include research and creative projects that result in disciplinary scholarship, the scholarship of application, interdisciplinary scholarship, and the scholarship of teaching. Examples of previous successful proposals are on file in the Center for Teaching and Learning.
"Scholarship of Teaching" typically goes beyond course development and/or revision and has as its audience other faculty and professionals in the field.

• Detailed timeline and budget
FUNDING: Up to $2000 is awarded per grant and 2-3 awards are typically made per year.
These grants are supported by Grangaard Faculty Development Fund and award decisions are made by the Faculty Development Committee. All funds must be used by the end of the fiscal year in which the grant is awarded.
ELIGIBILITY: Priority is given to full time tenured and tenure track faculty. Priority is also given to faculty who have not received this grant in the previous three year period.

World Visions book group
To all students, staff and faculty: We invite you to join the World Visions book group, which is scheduled for March to coincide with the 21st annual Peace Prize Forum on climate change. We will read "The Firecracker Boys: H-Bombs, Inupiat Eskimos, and the Roots of the Environmental Movement," by Dan O'Neill
"In 1958, Edward Teller, father of the H-bomb, unveiled his plan to detonate six nuclear bombs off the Alaskan coast to create a new harbor. However, the plan was blocked by a handful of Eskimos and biologists who succeeded in preventing massive nuclear devastation potentially far greater than that of the Chernobyl blast. "The Firecracker Boys" is a story of the U.S. government's arrogance and deception, and the brave people who fought against it-launching America's environmental movement. As one of Alaska's most prominent authors, Dan O'Neill brings to these pages his love of Alaska's landscape, his skill as a nature and science writer, and his determination to expose one of the most shocking chapters of the Nuclear Age." (Perseus Books Group)
In addition to O’Neill's book, we will discuss the transcript "Planting the Future" from the public radio show Speaking of Faith. Krista Tippett interviews the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and environmental activist Wangari Maathai.
We will meet on two Wednesdays, March 4th and 18th, from noon to 1:00 p.m. in the Marshall room. Mark your calendars now and RSVP to reserve your place in the conversation. (fagen@augsburg.edu ) The first twelve people to commit will receive a complimentary book, thanks to funding from WorkCulture@Augsburg.
Looking forward to your participation,
Lynn Ellingson and Kathy Fagen
