A project of the UNH Sustainability Academy Culture and Sustainability Initiative (CAS)

Proposal Submission Webform

The UNH Sustainability Academy invites proposals from UNH faculty members interested in developing and implementing programming that brings a liberal arts perspective to sustainability. Faculty members may submit proposals as individuals or groups, and they may involve staff and students in their planning. Interdisciplinary proposals involving collaboration between departments and offices that help to expand the scope and impact of the proposed program will be given special consideration.

Awards of up to $1,000 will be granted and funded by the Sustainability Academy. Funds will be available beginning September 1, and a total of $3,000 is available for AY-11-12. Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis.

Sustainability Academy Faculty Fellows and staff will select awardees.

For more information, please contact Elisabeth Farrell and Sara Cleaves at the UNH Sustainability Academy.

 

 

Proposal Themes

Proposals should communicate the actual and/or potential relationships between the liberal arts and sustainability, e.g.:

  • Sustainability of cultures (e.g., cultural heritage management);
  • Cultures of sustainability (e.g., institutional and cultural changes that will promote sustainability);
  • Critical reflection on the term “sustainability” itself.

 

Programming Examples

Programming may include guest speakers, artists and/or activists, special events, or field trips organized around any of the above themes.

 

Funding requirements

  • Awardees will be responsible for all aspects of developing and implementing the proposed programming. 
  • All awardees must use the Sustainability Academy name, logo and URL (www.sustainableunh.unh.edu) in all online, print and other promotional materials as a co-sponsor of the programming.
