In partnership with the Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Architecture, and Performance, Visualization & Fine Arts, the Glasscock Center is pleased to announce the Glasscock Book Completion Fellowships.

To advance outstanding original research in the humanities and humanistic social sciences, these awards provide critical support in the form of a semester free from teaching for Texas A&M tenured faculty members who are completing a book manuscript for publication as a monograph with a leading press.

Awardees are expected to remain in residence at Texas A&M and fulfill a normal level of service as defined by their department.

ELIGIBILITY:

An eligible book is defined as a monograph with an ISBN. It does not include self-published books, translations, new editions, textbooks, edited books, or conference proceedings. Eligible works must be books either authored or co-authored by a full-time Texas A&M tenured faculty member who has been a faculty member at Texas A&M for at least four years at the time of application. 

Applications must include evidence of a leading press’s intent to publish the resulting book.  This evidence can take such forms as a letter of intent/interest from the press’s editor or an advanced contract.

Eligible faculty may apply simultaneously for a Glasscock Book Completion Fellowship and a Glasscock Internal Faculty Residential Fellowship; however, they will not be awarded both. Faculty may not hold more than one of these fellowships in any four-year period.

SELECTION:

A multi-disciplinary selection committee of Texas A&M tenured faculty will be convened by the Director of the Glasscock Center, who will serve as a nonvoting chair.  Selection committee members will consist of faculty from the humanities and humanistic social sciences, broadly conceived.

Priority will be given to applicants whose book projects demonstrate the greatest potential to make substantial contributions to their respective fields and for whom a fellowship will most likely result in the timely completion of the book.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

The applicant's Department Head (or equivalent) must sign the application's signature page agreeing to release the Fellow from teaching during the designated semester in exchange for the Glasscock Center’s course buyout policy.
Applicant should also upload a current c.v., two supporting letters (see below for details), and the required signatures form as PDFs.

If you do not receive an email confirming receipt of the application from the Glasscock Center by the application deadline, please call (979)  845-8328 or email glasscock@tamu.edu.
