IIUI And UNCW Partnership

IIUI UNCW Partnership BannerThe University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) and the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) are partnering to design and implement a collaborative model of professional development in teaching, research, and community engagement, primarily in Political Science/International Relations and English. The teaching component of the IIUI-UNCW collaborative model expands faculty teaching expertise at both institutions through in-person and virtual workshops, mentoring, and pedagogical collaborations. Our model also supports the bidirectional exchange of IIUI and UNCW graduate students. The IIUI-UNCW research component facilitates faculty exchanges, collaborations, and mentoring to increase individual faculty and departmental research capacities, while the community engagement component fosters student, campus and regional engagement through internships, public lecture series, and community dialogues.

CFP: Mini-Grant Applications

The Pakistan grant team invites faculty to submit proposals for funding to support projects aligned with the IIUI-UNCW grant goals, which emphasize collaboration to enhance teaching, research, and community engagement at UNCW and the International Islamic University in Islamabad, Pakistan. We're particularly interested in pedagogy, research, and/or community engagement proposals in literary, language, and writing studies; political science; international relations; international affairs; and cognate fields.

Opportunities to travel to Islamabad are funded separately; please indicate on your supported project proposal if you are interested in going to Pakistan.

We would also like to inform you that six scholars from IIUI are in residence at UNCW until the end of June. These scholars come from IIUI’s English and International Relations departments. Please seek out opportunities to engage with them. Furthermore, IIUI will be hosting an international conference in September 2017 as part of our grant. We invite you to consider participating in this event.

Proposals should be sent to iiui-uncw@uncw.edu; the deadline is April 30th, 2017. Please review the description of our supported projects program, found in the application materials, for more information.
