In this session we will outline eligibility and application instructions for CUNY Faculty Coleaders and GC Doctoral Student Fellowships and offer an overarching framework of the goals, values, and organizational structure of this expansive public humanities initiative. We will also answer any questions you may have about the seminar or applying. Read more about the guiding questions and values of the seminar, and the research themes for this third iteration here.
This initiative brings together a cross-disciplinary cohort of faculty, graduate and undergraduate students; visual, performing, and new media artists; community organizers and cultural practitioners from around the city to expand the ways in which scholarly research, art creation, and activism can work in tandem to connect people and causes across academic and non-academic sectors. The cohort will develop multifaceted, public-facing projects that offer new ways of understanding and solving urgent social issues.
“The Center for the Humanities Teaching Fellowship provided me with the opportunity to infuse professional development into my pedagogy and course curriculum. This experience was truly transformative, forever shaping my approach to teaching and mentoring students.”
—Karen Okigbo Teaching Fellow, PhD candidate in the Sociology program at the CUNY Graduate Center
