Call for Submissions: "the mindful classroom / mindfulness in education"
A note from Natascha, the new editor of "The Mindfulness Bell," a quarterly journal in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh (more info about the journal is here: http://www.iamhome.org/)
The next issue will feature a theme of "the mindful classroom / mindfulness in education." Please spread the word to your Sanghas, and to teachers, parents, and especially to children and teens, that we are accepting submissions for this theme. It would be so wonderful to include writings from communities and people of color in the US, from Sanghas outside the US, and from children. If you can suggest other ways to reach out to these populations, please advise me. The deadline is March 1. Submission guidelines are in the magazine and on the website. http://www.iamhome.org/submission.htm
David B. Larson Fellowship in Health and Spirituality
Deadline: April 17, 2010
Application Form: MS Word - PDF (59kb)
- Research on the relation of religiousness and spirituality to physical, mental, and social health
- Open to U.S. citizens or permanent residents with a doctoral degree conferred prior to April 15
- Stipend: $4,200 per month (6 to 12 months)
The Library of Congress invites qualified scholars to apply for a post-doctoral fellowship in the field of health and spirituality. Made possible by a generous endowment from the International Center for the Integration of Health and Spirituality (ICIHS), the fellowship is named in honor of the Center's late founder, David B. Larson, an epidemiologist and psychiatrist, who focused on potentially relevant but understudied factors which might help in prevention, coping, and recovering from illness.
The fellowship is designed to continue Dr. Larson's legacy of promoting meaningful, scholarly study of these two important and increasingly interrelated fields. It seeks to encourage the pursuit of scholarly excellence in the scientific study of the relation of religiousness and spirituality to physical, mental, and social health. The fellowship provides an opportunity for a period of six to twelve months of concentrated use of the collections of the Library of Congress, through full-time residency in the Library's John W. Kluge Center. The Kluge Center is located in the splendid Thomas Jefferson Building of the Library, and it furnishes attractive work and discussion space for its scholars as well as easy access to the Library's specialized staff and to the intellectual community of Washington. If necessary, special arrangements may be made with the National Library of Medicine for access to its materials as well.
