Faculty Feature

Dr. Peter Schulman

L to R: Peter Schulman and GPIS Student Aaron Stacey

When my colleague, Dr. Josh Weinstein, an English professor who specializes in eco-criticism at Virginia Wesleyan College, and I decided to start our new journal called “Green Humanities A Journal of Ecological Thought in Literature, Philosophy & the Arts” surprisingly there were only three similar journals worldwide: a journal in Australia; ISLE, the publication arm of ASLE (The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment), and an on-line journal published by the University of Nebraska. We wanted a venue that would combine our love of nature with our concerns for ecological emergencies such as global warming and rising sea-levels which concerned us greatly living in Hampton Roads. We also wanted to highlight ways in which literature, philosophy, art could also play a role not only within eco-criticism, a burgeoning field in the humanities, but also as partners with the sciences. We too could help to influence public opinion and inspire engagement with ecological issues and causes.

France, the UK, Japan, Korea, Belgium, and Canada; in our first issue we included articles from scholars from Singapore, Australia, and Italy.

The choice of having an on-line venue was the perfect one for our venture as it was in tune with the immediacy of the environmental crises that surround us (hence our first issue devoted to the topic of “Eco-gencies”) and allowed us more flexibility and creativity with our inclusion of photography, artwork and a special poetry section. Moreover, by having an on-line presence we could reach out to so many more readers and scholars worldwide. That is why we carefully collected an Editorial Board and an Advisory Board made up of specialists in environmental humanities not only from throughout the United States but from the four corners of the world. On our boards, we have specialists from

Peter Schulman Foreign Languages & Literatures pschulma@odu.edu http://greenhumanities.org/

Our next issue will focus on “Food and Sustainability.” We plan on including video-streamed interviews in our volume and are planning local events with Hampton Roads farmers, and chefs, as well as events in New York and Los Angeles with topical authors and speakers. Our goal is indeed to work closely with community, make connections and bridges between the College of Arts and Letters and the Science Departments of ODU as well as to create a world-wide conversation among a large range of readers. Dr. Schulman is the co-editor-in-chief and co-founder of the journal. Two GPIS students are involved in managing the journal; Claudia Risner is the Managing Editor and Aaron Stacey is the Assistant Editor.

Fellowship Opportunities THE NUCLEAR SCHOLARS INITIATIVE The Nuclear Scholars Initiative aims to provide top graduate students and young professionals from around the country with a unique venue to interact and dialogue with senior experts on nuclear weapons issues. The program brings together a select group of roughly 20 individuals with a demonstrated interest and/or experience in nuclear issues to attend monthly workshops hosted by CSIS. During these sessions, experts from across the nuclear enterprise share their insights and engage the class of Scholars on a variety of nuclear issues. Over the course of this six-month program, each Scholar prepares a research paper that they will present to a panel of experts and later publish in a journal produced by CSIS. Deadline: October 30th, 2015 For more information visit http://csis.org/program/nuclear-scholars-initiative AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE (AAAS) The Science & Technology Policy Fellowships program provides opportunities for scientists and engineers to learn first-hand about policymaking and implementation while contributing their knowledge and analytical skills to policymakers.

Fellowship Opportunities PRINCETON UNIVERSITY University Center for Human Values Laurance S. Rockefeller Visiting Fellowships Fellows devote an academic year in residence at Princeton to research and writing about topics involving human values in public and private life. The program is open to scholars in all disciplines provided their research plans qualify. In recent years fellows have been drawn from fields including philosophy, political theory, literature, history, classics, economics and law, but this list is not meant to be exhaustive. Fellows are expected to reside in or around Princeton and to be active contributors to the intellectual life of the Center. Deadline:11/2/15 For more information visit https://uchv.princeton.edu/fellowships_awards/lsr_visiting_fellowships AMERICAN COUNCIL OF LEARNED SOCIETIES Comparative Perspectives on Chinese Culture and Society ACLS invites proposals in the humanities and related social sciences that adopt an explicitly cross-cultural or comparative perspective. Projects may, for example, compare aspects of Chinese history and culture with those of other nations and civilizations, explore the interaction of these nations and civilizations, or engage in cross-cultural research on the relations among the diverse and shifting populations of China. Proposals are expected to be empirically grounded, theoretically informed, and methodologically explicit. Deadline: 11/4/15 For more information visit http://www.acls.org/programs/chinese-culture/ AMERICAN COUNCIL OF LEARNED SOCIETIES Henry Luce Foundation/ACLS Program in China Studies The Henry Luce Foundation/ACLS Program in China Studies seeks to maintain the vitality of China Studies in North America through fellowships and grants designed primarily for scholars early in their careers. Studies on and in China have developed over the last 30 years in the United States and Canada into a robust field, but current conditions pose daunting problems, especially for scholars just before and just after the dissertation. · Postdoctoral Fellowships For scholars who are preparing or augmenting their PhD dissertation research for publication, or who are embarking on new research projects. Postdoctoral fellowships support work based on the applicant’s research in China that aims to produce a scholarly text in English. A working knowledge of Chinese is required. · Collaborative Reading-Workshop Grants For scholars of different disciplines to investigate texts that constitute essential points of entry to Chinese periods, traditions, communities, or events in contemporary or historical times. These grants provide support for collaborative reading of texts in a workshop format that is interdisciplinary and crosses scholarly generations. A wealth of often complex and challenging texts is a distinctive feature of the Chinese cultural record, making close reading by a group of scholars especially fruitful, because they can bring to bear diversity of research, experience, and expertise. Deadline: 11/4/15 For more information visit http://www.acls.org/programs/china-studies/
