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.

Excited About Tomorrow’s Mellon Faculty Fellows Institute

  • Posted by Cathy N. Davidson on June 22, 2021 at 5:34 pm

    Today we went over our “run of show” for tomorrow’s Mellon Faculty Fellows’ Institute and I don’t think I could be more excited to meet all of you!  What an amazing group!  Here’s one tiny preview of the incredible CUNY faculty who will be attending: 51 out of 51 Faculty Fellows returned the teaching survey that is part of our Mellon grant. In the many (!!) decades I’ve been in academe, I’ve never seen colleagues so willing to just be there, contribute, ready to start a learning revolution.  I was blown away last Spring when over 70 faculty led public events for all of CUNY and, well, the world. Once again, I’m inspired by you all and am looking ahead to learning and sharing so much together.
