Consortium Awards
Each year, the Consortium for Literature, Theory and Culture
awards three different types of funding to graduate students:
Consortium Scholar Award:
These awards of $2,000 are given to incoming graduate students
based on their interest in interdisciplinary and theoretical
reflections on literature and/or culture.
Consortium Researcher:
This award of approximately $5,000 quarterly is given to an
outstanding graduate student to perform research duties that
relate to the Consortium curriculum.
CLTC Travel Grants:
As part of its new initiatives, the Consortium for Literature,
Theory and Culture at UCSB this year will provide 20 to 30
conference travel grants of $200-$500 each to graduate students
in the eight CLTC departments.
The funds may be used to cover travel, hotel, registration,
or food. Applications should be sent at least 45 days prior
to the scheduled conference presentation, and should include
a cover letter, a one-page abstract, and a budget. All grant
recipients are required to present their work in the CLTC
student roundtable discussions that take place twice each
quarter. Please email the application to the CLTC
Chair.
2006-2007 Consortium Scholars:
Nanette Pawelek comes into the Comparative Literature Program
here at UCSB with a Master's degree in Cultural Analysis from
the University of Amsterdam. Her doctoral program will focus
on critical approaches to 20th century German and American
literature and film.
Clareann Despain received her Master's degree in Dramatic Arts
from the University of New Mexico, where she directed critically
acclaimed plays. One of her critical approaches to theater is
what she calls "schizoanalyisis" because of the dual
character of the performer as self and other.
Jessica Rossknecht joins the UCSB Classics Department from UCLA
where she focused on classical literature and modern theory.
She will continue work on the theoretical underpinnings of various
classical works and may continue her focus on Latin elegiac
poetry.
