In May 2010, Prof. Lauren S. Weingarden held the IEAT/FUNDEP Chair in Humanities, Letters and Arts, at the Institute for Advanced Transdisciplinary Studies (IEAT), Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in recognition of her expertise in Word & Image Studies. During her month-long residency she taught a graduate seminar on “Word & Image Methodologies” (in the department of Literary Studies) and consulted with intermedia research groups in Humanities, Theater, Music, Visual Arts, and Literary Studies. Her activities also included a university-wide lecture titled, “Reflections on Baudelairean Modernity.”

In Memoriam: Jason Cope (1972-2010)
The Florida State University is accustomed to having its faculty members selected to teach and conduct research in other countries after they have been awarded intensely competitive Fulbright scholarships. However, the university now will get to see that process play out in reverse as it prepares to host a Fulbright Scholar from abroad.
Florida State and its Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship have just been awarded a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence grant from the U.S. Department of State to host a visiting foreign professor for one semester. With the grant, Jason Cope, the director of teaching and senior lecturer at the University of Strathclyde’s Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship in Glasgow, Scotland, will join FSU’s College of Business as a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence for the fall 2010 semester. The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program is part of the nation’s premier international exchange program, which is sponsored by the State Department.
The Office of Faculty Recognition will be presenting an overview of the Dean of the Faculties' Curriculum Vitae Database to Promotion and Tenure faculty. This database will be used in place of the template system previously used by faculty who were going up for promotion and/or tenure.
Location: 103 Dodd Hall Auditorium
Time: 9:30a - 10:30a
Applications to the Fulbright Program for Faculty and Professional will be due on August 2, 2010. Please see the full article for application tips.
