Fellows & Affiliates
Each year the Institute offers fellowships to tenured and tenure-track faculty in WCAS. Colleagues from School of Communication and School of Music were invited to apply for the first time in the 2008-09 competition.
Fellowships are for a full year of leave or a two-course teaching reduction. Applicants' projects are subject to a competition and evaluated by outside reviewers. Fellows work on their projects, conduct an Institute colloquium to present their research, take part in Institute events, and--a year later--design and teach an Institute class that reflects their research. For more information on applying for Institute Fellowships, please click here.
All NU faculty and advanced doctoral students across the University are invited to apply to become Institute Faculty and
Graduate Affiliates if they are interested in the Institute's programming. Institute Affiliates participate in Institute events and receive research funds.
