Jonathan Jasper Wright Institute for the Study of Southern African American History, Culture and Policy

Faculty Fellows:

Faculty Fellows are the core component of the Institute. Fellows receive a reduced teaching load and research monies to complete their individual research projects for publication. Also, in coordination with the Director, Fellows will play a critical role in comprising the Institute’s Think Tank, offering academic and social commentary in their areas of expertise and in shaping the Institute’s ongoing and achievable program of research

Faculty Fellow Application Process:       

The Institute will in many cases make invitations for Junior Faculty members to become Fellows holding joint appointments within the Institute as well as their respective departments. However, persons who are interested in becoming Faculty Fellows—including persons completing their doctoral work—should send an letter of application describing their research intrests and its relationship to the Institute’s goals, as well as a CV, via email to the director.
