Opportunities for Faculty

Support for faculty scholarship and professional development is one of the principle mandates of the Center for the Study of Religion, Culture, and Society. In addition to the formal opportunities on this site, we are always available to consult about project ideas and resources. The “Publications” tab on the menu will point to the wide range of scholarship the CSRCS has supported across many disciplines.

Ongoing specific opportunities include:

On the Edge Symposium: an annual scholarly symposium featuring 10-12 scholars from around the US and beyond organized by two Elon faculty members

CSRCS Scholar: A two-year appointment of a faculty member of any rank to undertake activities and initiatives that promote their own professional development and support the work and mission of the CSRCS.

Travel grants: Up to $500 to support faculty who are making presentations related to the scholarly study of or teaching about culture and religion at disciplinary or other in-person conferences.

Research support: The CSRCS is happy to support the research needs of faculty undertaking work that supports the mission of the center. All teaching faculty in full-time positions are eligible for funds that facilitate the research process, writing, or publication. Grants are normally capped at $500.
