IDEAS Teaching Fellow
The Institute for the Liberal Arts (ILA) requests applications for the IDEAS Teaching Fellowship, a year-long graduate student fellowship from September 1, 2024-August 31, 2025.
The awardee will be a current PhD student in a LGS humanities program whose work focuses on the Americas. The fellow will be asked to teach AMST 201: Introduction to American Studies in the spring semester in consultation with the Director of American Studies. In addition, over the course of the academic year, the fellow will be involved with and help facilitate the undergraduate IDEAS (Interdisciplinary Exploration and Scholarship) Fellowship.

We are particularly interested in creative ideas for fostering intellectual community across disciplines and between faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students.
