Transformative Learning in the Humanities

Transformative Learning in the Humanities is a three-year initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The grant supports public talks, symposia, and workshops as well as a series of intensive peer-to-peer faculty seminars for CUNY faculty at all ranks (including adjuncts) in the humanities, arts, and interpretive social sciences. The program focuses on equitable, creative, student-centered pedagogical research and methods designed for the rich diversity of CUNY students; greater recognition for the importance of teaching; and the role of an urgent and indispensable humanities for the future of CUNY students and a more just and equitable society.

  • Call for Futures Initiative Team-Taught Courses (Deadline Jan 31)

    Dear Fellows,

     

    This exciting opportunity to team-teach courses with the Futures Initiative may be of interest to you. The Futures Initiative is based in the Graduate Center and its mission is aligned with TLH.  Please see the full call below.

     

    Call for FI Team-Taught Courseshttps://futuresinitiative.org/blog/2021/11/21/call-for-team-taught-courses-fall-2022-spring-2023/

    **Apply by January 31, 2022 to teach a team-taught course at the Graduate Center and serve as a Futures Initiative Faculty Fellow!**

    Apply now to teach a team-taught course at the Graduate Center and serve as a Futures Initiative Faculty Fellow! Once again in 2022-2023, the Futures Initiative is pleased to support CUNY faculty at the Graduate Center and other CUNY colleges who are engaged in interdisciplinary team teaching. Selected faculty will be part of a cohort of Futures Initiative Faculty Fellows.  By special arrangement, faculty will receive $1,000 in research support as part of the public programming that goes along with FI courses..

    ELIGIBILITY: Each faculty pair must include one central line Graduate Center faculty member and one CUNY faculty member based at another college (four-year or two-year). The requirement of including a GC central line faculty member could be flexed if the GC program commits to funding one faculty member’s participation. All disciplines are welcome. The Futures Initiative is especially interested in supporting diverse pairs of scholars from the GC and the CUNY campuses, including senior and junior faculty members who have not taught at the GC previously.

    Like last year, special consideration will be given to proposals that focus on introductory or required courses. Depending on the program, this could mean gateway courses, required first-year courses, ​research, and methods courses, etc. In addition, a major goal of this program is to support diversity, equity, and inclusion—both in terms of the teaching faculty, and in terms of the course content.

    • Focus: Bringing inclusion, interdisciplinarity, and innovative and engaged teaching methods into required/foundational/introductory graduate courses
    • Structure: Introductory/foundational graduate courses team-taught by GC and CUNY colleagues
    • Enhancements: Faculty research funds, community of faculty fellows, pedagogy workshops
    • Fields:  All fields welcome. Due Date: January 31, 2022

    For reference, you may wish to read about current courses or courses we have offered in prior years.

    NOTE: Due to current budgetary constraints, we will only be able to support 2 courses in Fall 2022 and 2 courses Spring 2023.
