Project Abstract

Professors Leveraging a Community of Engagement (PLACE) with The Center for the Advancement of Multicultural Perspectives on Social Sciences (CAMPSSAH) positions the center as an interdisciplinary hub for research and service activities for faculty whose work forms the foundation of inclusive excellence at UC Davis. To foster holistic development, sustained growth, and retention of these faculty, “PLACE with CAMPSSAH” seeks resources to work in three areas: community, leadership, and recognizing contributions. PLACE, at its core, will consist of writing communities led by the PI/CAMPSSAH Faculty Director. These writing communities for suggested CAMPSSAH Scholars and Faculty Affiliates will meet for two quarters during the academic year and for a week-long off-campus writing retreat. They are opportunities to engage across disciplinary boundaries and ranks to create a “third space” of engagement among the participants. The grant will also enhance resources for faculty at various junctures in their career trajectory with manuscript workshops, post-tenure start-up funds, and supplemental conference travel grants for childcare expenses.
