Hackley Research Series

THE HACKLEY RESEARCH SERIES

The L.V. Hackley Chair for the Study of Capitalism and Free Enterprise in the Broadwell College of Business and Economics (BCBE) sponsored the Hackley Research Series for the following purposes: (1) to support research by untenured faculty; and (2) as the program grows, to expand the visibility of the College and the University by including junior faculty from neighboring universities.

The following criteria and procedures apply:1.  Untenured faculty in all departments at FSU may submit a proposal. We cannot accommodate performances, poetry/fiction or exhibits, but only research projects leading to an academic journal submission, at this stage.

2.  Untenured faculty may submit an unpublished paper (with abstract), or an abstract showing that the unpublished paper is ready for presentation. Applications are due two weeks before the seminar date and should be submitted to L.V. Hackley Chair, Dr. Nikolai G. Wenzel, (nwenzel@uncfsu.edu). Please include (1) a title; (2) an abstract; and (3) one or two suggested discussants (senior faculty in the relevant field).

3.  On an ad hoc basis and depending on the number and academic disciplines of submissions, Dr. Wenzel will form a selection committee, with members drawn from the relevant FSU colleges. Papers will be selected according to quality, with consideration given to balance of disciplines, past participation, and fit with the goals of the Hackley Endowment.

4.  Three papers will be selected for each seminar. Each will have a formal discussant, followed by audience feedback.

5.  Selected professors will receive a $1,000 grant for professional development, upon (a) presentation at a Hackley Research seminar; and (b) participation in one other seminar.
