official info/invitation:
The application deadline for the third and final year of the Legacy Heritage Jewish Studies Project (LHJSP), a collaboration between the Legacy Heritage Fund and the Association for Jewish Studies (AJS), is approaching on September 15, 2011. This initiative aims to promote sustainedJewish Studies programming in small to mid-sized cities, foster relationships between scholars and the wider communities in which they work, encourage innovative and accessible teaching by AJS members, and highlight the nexus of Jewish Studies and the study of world civilizations and cultures. LHJSP is committed to supporting the work of Jewish Studies scholars as public intellectuals, pioneering programmers, and community builders.
The AJS will issue one-year grants of up to $22,000 to Jewish Studies programs at colleges and universities outside of major metropolitan areas that demonstrate scholarly resources, institutional support, a schedule of creative and substantive public events, and a need in the general community for such programming. Priority will be given to applications from institutions in the United States, but Canadian institutions will also be considered. In addition, institutions in the process of building a Jewish Studies program are eligible to apply. Previous applicants are welcome to reapply. Funding for the 2011 competition will support public programming in the 2012-13 academic year.
Support for the Legacy Heritage Jewish Studies Project is generously provided by Legacy Heritage Fund Limited. Please visit the AJS website for additional information, including application materials and a list of past winners.
