About

The Baldrige Book Subvention Fund supports publishing of scholarly books by faculty in the Humanities Departments (African-American Studies, English, History, Linguistics, World Languages and Cultures, Native American Studies, Philosophy and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies). The Fund may also support publishing of scholarly books by faculty in the Department of Economics. Preference will be given to books with a historical and/or economic perspective.

Preference is given to books written by:

3. Emeritus faculty members

Please note that the publication of articles is not supported by the Balridge Book Subvention Fund.
