2006 National Faculty Leadership Conference

CALL FOR PAPERS

2006 NATIONAL FACULTY LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

A conference for university professors and graduate students, commemorating Dr. Charles Malik (1906-1987) in the centenary of his birth Conference info: www.TwoTasks.com  <http://www.twotasks.com/>

Sponsored by Christian Leadership Ministries The Faculty ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ International

June 22-25, 2006
Hilton Mark Center Hotel, Alexandria, VA

"If you win the whole world and lose the mind of the world, you will soon discover you have not won the world. Indeed it may turn out that you have actually lost the world. . . . Responsible Christians face two tasks--that of saving the soul and that of saving the mind." - Charles Malik, Two Tasks

We invite proposals for 20-minute papers or poster presentations exploring the intersection of Christian faith and academic inquiry in the fine arts.
Proposals should address an interdisciplinary audience of historians and theorists of the arts, and apply a biblical worldview to problems either within one discipline or across the disciplines within the arts. The purpose of this call is to stimulate scholarly activity illuminated by biblical principles and discipleship to Jesus Christ

The arts sessions will form one of seventeen academic tracks at the conference, each of which invites consideration of such general questions
as:

• What issues of tension or conflict with the Christian faith need to be addressed within the discipline?
• What issues of common ground might be explored as research interests?
• What issues must be more clearly articulated from a Christian perspective?
• What issues implicating the Christian worldview are under-researched?
• How can Christian scholars have a transforming effect on the thought and practices of the discipline

Titles with abstracts of 300-400 words should be emailed as a MS Word document attachment to NFLCpapers@clm.org by February 15, 2006. Please include a cover page in the Word document indicating a) your name, b) position, c) institutional affiliation, d) mailing address, e) email address, f) daytime telephone number, g) format preference: paper or poster presentation (although the program committee will make the final determination), and h) the academic track for which you are making your submission (History and Theory of the Fine Arts).

One to three papers in each track will be invited presentations, and the remaining papers will be chosen by faculty peers on the track program committee from submissions to the call for papers. Contributors will be notified of acceptance by April 1, 2006. Oral presentation of 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion (unless otherwise indicated within a specific track) will be made on Friday, June 23, during the academic seminar time.

Integral announces the recent publication of Vol. 16/17 (double issue) and the forthcoming publication of Vol. 18/19 (double issue), and invites scholarly submissions to be considered for publication in upcoming issues. Please see below for details.

Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft fur Musiktheorie (ZGTH) 2

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the publication of the new issue of the Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft f�r Musiktheorie (ZGMTH volume 2005/2), which is now accessible on the ZGMTH's website:

http://www.gmth.de/www/zeitschrift.php

The issue includes summaries in English and German on various sub-disciplines of North American and German music theory. The purpose of these summaries is (1) to provide a brief overview over the major areas of music-theoretical research with bibliographies for quick reference, and (2) to enable theorists from both countries to familiarize themselves with the other country's kinds of music theory. In the future, we are planning to expand the project to include other countries by establishing a permanent website with summaries by music theorists of all participating countries.

The editor Oliver Schwab-Felisch and I would like to thank especially Harald Krebs, whose efforts and support made this summary project possible. Our thanks go also to the American authors (William E. Caplin, Edward Gollin, Edward D. Latham, Justin London, Henry Martin and Jocelyn Neal) and the German authors (Patrick Boenke, Christoph Neidh�fer, Hartmut Fladt, Ulrich Kaiser, Clemens K�hn, Gesine Schr�der, Oliver Schwab-Felisch, and Sigrun Heinzelmann).

American readers might also be interested in the report by the GMTH's president Stefan Rohringer on the first German Schenkerian Symposium and workshops with Carl Schachter and Frank Samarotto in June 2004 by the GMTH's president Stefan Rohringer.
.
The fall/winter issue (2005/3) will feature additional summaries and contributions on American music theory by David Carson Berry and others.

Best,

Sigrun B. Heinzelmann

ACLS OPENS COMPETITION FOR DIGITAL INNOVATION FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) is pleased to announce its new Digital Innovation Fellowship program, in support of digitally based research projects in the humanities and humanistic social sciences.  These fellowships, created with the generous help of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, are intended to support an academic year dedicated to work on a major scholarly project of a digital character that advances humanistic studies and best exemplifies the integration of such research with use of computing, networking, and other information technology-based tools.  The online application for the fellowship program is located at http://ofa.acls.org; applications must be completed by November 10, 2005 (decisions to be announced in late March 2006).

This is the first national fellowship program to recognize and reward humanistic scholarship in the digital sphere, and to help establish standards for judging the quality, innovation, and utility of such research.  Many scholars have been working in the humanities for years with such tools as digital research archives, new media representations of extant data, and innovative databases-and now the ACLS sees an important opportunity to start identifying and providing incentive for distinctive work, on a national basis.  "Information technology can be the means for scholars to answer new and old questions that have so far resisted our curiosity and our effort.  This program will support a rising generation of scholars in making exactly that kind of progress," says James O'Donnell, provost of Georgetown University, Chair of the ACLS Executive Committee of Delegates, and author of Avatars of the Word:  From Papyrus to Cyberspace (1998).

Up to five Digital Innovation Fellowships will be awarded in this competition year, for tenure beginning in 2006-2007.  As this program aims to provide the means for pursuing digitally-based scholarly projects, the fellowship includes a stipend of up to $55,000 to allow an academic year's leave from teaching, as well as project funds of up to $25,000 for purposes such as access to tools and personnel for digital production, collaborative work with other scholars and with humanities or computing research centers, and the dissemination and preservation of projects.

The ACLS criteria for judging applications include the project's intellectual ambitions and technological underpinnings, likely contribution as a digital scholarly work to humanistic study, satisfaction of technical requirements for a successful research project, degree and significance of preliminary work; potential for promoting teamwork and collaboration (where appropriate), and articulation with local infrastructure at the applicant's home institution.

Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States as of the application deadline date and must hold a Ph.D. degree conferred prior to the application deadline. However, established scholars who can demonstrate the equivalent of the Ph.D. in publications and professional experience may also qualify.
