The Syracuse University Art Museum is accepting applications through April 14 for the second annual Faculty Fellows Program, hosted by the museum with support from the Office of Strategic Initiatives and the Office of Research in Academic Affairs.
The program focuses on object-based teaching and research to promote innovative curriculum development and to facilitate the fuller integration of the museum’s collection in Universitywide instruction. The fellows program consists of a three-day intensive workshop from May 22-24, followed by Faculty Fellows presentations on Sept. 8. Each Faculty Fellow will receive a $3,000 stipend or research subsidy, a hands-on introduction to the collection by museum staff and ongoing curricular support. Fellows will be expected to develop a museum visit lesson plan and at least one object-based student assignment to be integrated into their teaching in the 2023-24 academic year.
The program is open to all tenure-track and full-time non-tenure-track faculty members who are teaching in fall 2023 or spring 2024. Proposals may originate from any discipline and must include an existing course syllabus and a checklist of two to four museum collection objects for exploration.
The deadline for applications is 5 p.m. ET on Friday, April 14. For additional information about the Faculty Fellows Program, contact Kate Holohan, curator of education and academic outreach, at keholoha@syr.edu. More information on the museum Faculty Fellows Program can be found on its website.
The Syracuse University Art Museum invites gifts to support its Faculty Fellows Program. Each $3,000 gift will support a fellow and their work for a semester-long class. Contact Emily Dittman, interim director, at ekdittma@syr.edu or 315.443.4097 for more information about making a gift.
