FACULTY FELLOWSHIPS

Faculty Fellowships provide opportunities for Smith College faculty members from an array of disciplines to work closely together on projects of broad scope. There are two types of Faculty Fellows:


	Organizing Fellows propose projects to the Kahn Institute Director. After a project is approved by the Director and the Kahn Advisory Committee, its Organizing Fellows work with the Director to select participating faculty and student, and to develop a program of related public events. The Director will also help to identify and invite visiting scholars who can offer different ideas from, provide constructive criticism to, and challenge the Fellows in order to provide a range of perspectives on the issues the Fellows are grappling with. Organizing Fellows are released from teaching one course in order to lead their project's Kahn Research Colloquium during the project year and supervise the work of Student Fellows.

	Participating Faculty Fellows engage in all of the project's activities and assist the Organizing Fellows in planning public events.

All Faculty Fellows receive research grants in the amount of $3,000 for the project year and, if they wish, student assistants during that period.

Junior faculty (only) have the option of choosing from the above, i.e., to receive either a research grant or one course release during the project year.

Faculty Fellowship applications should include a brief statement of your interest in the project and what you hope to contribute, and should be submitted to the Director by the Application Deadline.
