The Coleman-Guitteau Professorship seeks to promote the development of new or substantially revised interdisciplinary undergraduate humanities courses which focus on significant intellectual and cultural questions and their history.

While Coleman-Guitteau courses must be designed and intended primarily for undergraduates, they may also be open to graduate students.

Coleman-Guitteau courses should employ pedagogical approaches that emphasize:
• open and critical thinking
• active student participation
• independent inquiry
• the free exchange of ideas

Up to $4,000 for Course Enrichment

The Coleman-Guitteau Professorship makes available up to $4,000 for:
• curriculum development
• course enrichment
• guest speakers
• instructional materials
• classroom activities
• related research assistance
• other activities related to the course

$4,500 Summer Salary

Coleman-Guitteau Professors must devote a minimum of four consecutive weeks to course development during the summer. In return, they will receive $4,500 (plus OPE) in summer salary, paid through UO Payroll on a regular summer pay cycle.

Team-Teaching Proposals Encouraged

Team-taught courses are encouraged, particularly those involving faculty from different departments. In the case of a team-taught course, both instructors will receive $4,500 (plus OPE) in summer salary for curriculum development. Team-taught courses are eligible for up to $4,000 in course enrichment funds, awarded per course (not per fellow).

History

The Coleman-Guitteau Teaching Professorship was established in 1992 through an endowment made to the Oregon Humanities Center by former OHC Board of Visitors member David B. Stern and Nancy E. Guitteau in honor of their mothers.
