Announcing the 2022-2023 Faculty Fellows
April 5, 2022 | Kristen Chavez
The Institute for the Arts and Humanities is delighted to announce its 2022-2023 cohort of Faculty Fellows. The Faculty Fellowship Program offers College of Arts & Sciences faculty the opportunity to pursue ambitious, exciting, artistic, and scholarly projects that lead to publication, exhibition, composition, and performance.
During a semester-long, on-campus Fellowship, Fellows meet weekly to exchange ideas with an interdisciplinary cohort of peers.
Faculty Fellows often demonstrate a track record of engaging in scholarship that breaks new ground in their respective fields, having an interest in communicating the results of their research to a broader audience, and working to bring that knowledge back into the classroom.
