Open question: sabbatical funding?
This is a question for you:
I suspect most universities have moved to a one-semester sabbatical, with a full-year sabbatical at half pay. First of all, is that true? Second, if you want a full year of sabbatical, where do you find that other semester? (Or do you take a pay cut?)
One possibility is a Fulbright; then there are centers like NESCent; and there are on-site grants from facilities of DOE and NASA. Those sound wonderful, but if you don’t want to have to be geographically tied to a specific place for a whole semester, what to do?
Care to share what you’ve done for sabbatical, what you’re planning, or what questions you have? I won’t check back in for a day or two, but by all means chat away.
