Additional responsibilities include working with a faculty mentor on planning and teaching classes, attending a series of required pedagogy workshops, serving as editors on the program’s pedagogy blog, and submitting for publication work related to their research and scholarly interests. Fellows are appointed for two years, renewable for a third year based on performance and programmatic need; they are non-tenure track and non-renewable beyond the third year.

We seek colleagues in the area of Cultural Foundations
