particularly interested in candidates with expertise in critical,
historical, and/or ethnographic methodologies. The fellowship
provides advanced doctoral candidates with meaningful teaching
experience and mentorship as they complete their dissertations.
Over the course of one year, fellows teach one course per semester,
engage in scholarly forums, develop pedagogical skills, and receive
professional development to prepare them for successful academic
careers.

The Fellowship is non-renewable. It begins on August 16, 2027 and
ends on May 31, 2028. Fellows receive a $43,260 stipend, $5,000 in
