Written by Janet McGreevy
One of Illinois’ most respected resources for public events programming and co-sponsorship, the Center for Advanced Study has named two of MNTL’s faculty researchers as Associate(s) for the 2018-19 year. Such recognition incentivizes scholarly achievement and advances the university’s intellectual work.
On an annual basis, CAS invites U of I faculty to submit creative and scholarly proposals for competitive consideration by the Center’s permanent Professors. Tenured faculty whose proposals are selected are appointed Associates. Such an appointment grants one semester of teaching release time to pursue an individual scholarly project of merit, in addition to participation in a yearly roundtable discussion of research interests.
