This grant program is designated for associate professors, who undertake a large share of teaching and committee work but rarely have resources for research and course development committed specifically to them. Faculty involved in this initiative devote Winter Quarter of the academic year to a research project that will benefit from expertise in another area. Each chooses a faculty counterpart — in any department, discipline, or school other than the applicant's own — with whom she or he would value regular conversation and guidance.

Rick Bonus, Associate Professor, American Ethnic Studies
Making Meaning in Schools: Race and the Politics of Mentorship uses the critical ethnography to offer new understandings of persistent racial inequality in schooling outcomes as well as practices of “transformative mentorship” that reconfigure connections across education, race, culture, and power.
Bonus will collaborate with Gene Edgar (College of Education) who offers expertise in educational theory and practice that connects families, communities, and schooling. |

Andrea Woody, Associate Professor, Philosophy
Connecting to the Audience: Representation and Embodiment in Contemporary Artistic Performance investigates how best to conceptualize the body’s self-conscious presentation and communication in contemporary performance, as a vehicle for representation, or alternatively, as something that exceeds representation.
Jurg Koch (Dance) will offer Woody the insights of his experience as a choreographer, performer, and teacher whose practice integrates disabled and non-disabled performers live and in recording. |
