Dear Colleague,
I write to invite nominations for the 2022 – 2023 Lazerowitz Lecturer. The Max and Etta Lazerowitz Lectureship provides a $1,000.00 honorarium each year for an assistant or associate professor from Amherst College to address the college community on a topic of the colleague’s choice.
Assistant professors may be nominated by departments or individual faculty, and self-nominations are welcome. The Faculty Lecture Committee, in consultation with the provost and the dean of the faculty, selects the Lazerowitz lecturer.
The committee welcomes new nominees and also encourages previous nominees who were not selected to update their proposals/projects and resubmit their applications. The nomination should be accompanied by a copy of the nominee’s C.V. and a brief description of the proposed lecture (not to exceed 250 to 300 words).
The Lazerowitz Lecture to be delivered sometime during the first two weeks of April. Please send in your nomination by Friday, January 13, 2023, at 5:00 P.M. Your nomination and supporting documents should be sent to the Faculty Lecture Committee, at flc@amherst.edu.
Please feel free to contact the Faculty Lecture Committee with questions and/or to discuss possible nominees.
Sincerely,
