Research Excellence Award for UCLA Associate Professors
The application portal will open early winter quarter for submissions. Our current application portal is under campus review. We apologize for the inconvenience.
DESCRIPTION OF AWARD
The Center for the Study of Women and Institute of American Cultures (IAC) established the joint Research Excellence Award for UCLA Associate Professors in January 2017. This award consists of a monograph manuscript (or equivalent) workshop to promote continuing excellence in scholarship by UCLA professors at the associate level addressing questions important to the fields of critical race and postcolonial studies and/or gender, sexuality, and ethnic studies.
NOMINATION PROCESS
Candidates for the award must be nominated by a fellow faculty member (inside or outside of UCLA) committed to organizing the workshop. CSW|Streisand Center-IAC cannot guarantee staff support for organizing the workshop. Please reach out to your department staff to confirm their availability.
STRUCTURE OF WORKSHOPS
Each workshop will feature a distinguished outside reader from the awardee’s field who will prepare detailed written reports in preparation for the workshop discussion. Also invited will be a select group of local colleagues and intellectual interlocutors who will also have had an opportunity to read the manuscript or portions thereof. These workshops will offer awardees an extended and detailed discussion of their manuscript and a pragmatic plan of action for revisions.
