MCLA-IAH Faculty Fellowship Program (Spring 2021)

The MCLA-IAH Faculty Fellowship Program connects faculty, students, and community members with area arts and humanities resources to support the development of interdisciplinary curricula, student research, community involvement, and more. We invite you to apply for this fellowship by submitting proposals for experiential projects and/or interdisciplinary collaborations that address and investigate issues of inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) by capitalizing on the area’s unique, cultural resources.

Faculty who are accepted into the program will be expected to participate in a learning cohort that will explore the power of arts and culture as a strategy to create courageous spaces for education, dialogue, and action. MCLA-IAH faculty fellows will meet throughout the semester to engage with various resources and apply the knowledge gained to their own curricula and teaching practices. Key dates include:

Friday, February 19, 2021, 2-3 p.m. Where are we now at MCLA? Reflecting on Current Context
