C-SAP Associates

Dear All



C-SAP is delighted to announce that it will, for 2008/9, be awarding Associate status to ten academics from across the disciplines of Sociology, Anthropology, Politics and Criminology. Associates will hold the title for 1 year and we would like to include individuals who have both developed a large degree of expertise in an area of pedagogic development or who have some innovative pedagogic ideas they want to take further.



This as an opportunity to receive national recognition from colleagues for the expertise you have developed and disseminate your good practice, whilst expanding your existing network of contacts. Associates will be reimbursed for expenses incurred through participating in C-SAP activities and will receive a 20% discount off our Conference fee as well as access to a £1000 grant. This would be available in two instalments of £500 upon appointment. We would recommend that a proportion of this fund is used for your own development and the remainder for the activities outlined below.





C-SAP Associates will be required to take part in the following activities across the duration of the year:



* Write an article which would be used in the Newsletter, on the Website or in another publication such as the monograph series
* Write a book review for the C-SAP website
* Lead a workshop or participate in a C-SAP organised event - we would expect this to be held within your own department
* Produce or contribute to a paper based or electronic resource that could be used by others within the C-SAP Network
* Act as an ambassador for C-SAP within their existing networks and department.



If you would like to nominate someone for an associate's award please send their name and contact details and reasons for the nomination to the relevant Academic Coordinator or if you would like to apply directly please complete the attached proforma and send it to enquiries@c-sap.bham.ac.uk. Information on last years Associates can be found on our website at http://www.c-sap.bham.ac.uk/about_us/associates.htm





The deadline for applications is 22 February 2008



We look forward to hearing from you.
