Fellowships to teach courses on the nuclear threat

The Nuclear Threat Fellowship Program
The W. Alton Jones Fellows of the Center on Violence and Human Survival

January, 2001

The Citizens Panel on Ultimate Weapons of the Center on Violence and Human
Survival at John Jay College, in collaboration with the Office of
Continuing Education at the Graduate Center of the City University of New
York, funded by the W. Alton Jones Foundation, is pleased to announce
eight fellowships of $2,500 each for younger professors to teach a new
course in the general area of nuclear threat.  No discipline is excluded
from consideration, and we encourage young faculty from all the arts and
sciences to think about issues of ultimate destruction from within their
traditions.

We are especially committed to courses that examine nuclear threat from a
humanistic and ethical perspective.

Applications are being accepted until the end of March, 2001, and consist
of a letter describing a proposed course, along with a draft syllabus, to
be taught in the academic year 2001-2002 at some American college or
university.

Please write Charles B. Strozier, Center on Violence and Human Survival,
John Jay College, 555 West 57th Street, New York NY 10019.  The selection
committee consists of Robert Jay Lifton, Jonathan Schell, Richard
Falk, Lawrence Wittner, and Merav Datan, with Strozier as the chair.  
When fellows have been selected, we plan a general meeting in New York
with members of the Citizens Panel on Ultimate Weapons for a broad
discussion of nuclear issues.
