Call for Proposals: Changemaker Fellows Program Recipients | |
We are pleased to announce two opportunities for the 2021 Changemaker Faculty Fellows Program: Community Engaged Learning and Anti-Racist Pedagogy Learning Community.
Community Engaged Learning
As an Ashoka U-designated Changemaker Campus, UC San Diego recognizes the value of community engaged learning in developing students and faculty as leaders in social innovation and changemaking. The Changemaker Faculty Fellows for Community Engaged Learning (CEL) is a collaboration between the Teaching + Learning Commons Engaged Teaching and Experiential Learning Hubs, the Center for Student Involvement, and the Changemaker Steering Committee.
The purpose of this Fellowship is to support faculty who integrate, or would like to integrate CEL into their teaching, research, and public service at UC San Diego, and serve as campus leaders in CEL pedagogy and community engagement. The Fellowship brings faculty together as co-learners to enhance existing or develop new CEL courses. Proposed projects may focus on:
| |
- Integration of CEL into a new or existing course;
- Development of assessment tools or strategies for measuring the impact of CEL courses on undergraduate learning outcomes, instructors, or the community; or
- Community-based course research projects
| |
The program is currently open to all full-time senate UC San Diego faculty members with an interest in CEL. We encourage individual faculty and interdisciplinary teams to apply for the Fellowship. Selected faculty are awarded $10,000 over two academic years ($7,000 distributed in the first year and $3,000 distributed in the second year). Funds may be used toward project implementation, or to provide additional professional development support for participants. Please visit the website for complete program and application details.
Questions regarding the CEL fellowship should be directed to Théo Gallegos, Administrative Assistant, Teaching + Learning Commons Engaged Teaching Hub at tgallegos@ucsd.edu or Tricia Taylor Oliveira, Director, Teaching + Learning Commons Academic Internship Program at ttaylor@ucsd.edu.
Anti-Racist Pedagogy Learning Community
In partnership with the Changemaker Institute, Graduate Division, and the T. Denny Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion, the Teaching + Learning Commons Engaged Teaching Hub invites faculty and graduate students to apply for the 2021 Anti-Racist Pedagogy Learning Community (ARPLC) Fellowship.
The purpose of this Fellowship is to support faculty who have an interest in learning about and employing anti-racist practices into their teaching. Selected faculty receive a fellowship award of $5,000 over Fall and Winter quarters ($2,500 distributed each quarter) to develop and implement an ARPLC project. Funds can be used for activities such as:
| |
- Professional development, course development, or research;
- Implementation costs that could include curriculum materials, course, or project-related travel, and/or;
- Undergraduate or graduate student ARPLC project-related support
| |
The program is currently open to all full-time UC San Diego Academic Senate faculty members with an interest in learning about the historical roots of educational inequity, examining their teaching practices through a racial equity lens, and enacting anti-racist practices in their class, department, or program through a project of their own design. Non-senate faculty educators in the Schools of Medicine, Public Health, and Pharmacy are also eligible. Successful Health Sciences faculty applicants will be supported by the T. Denny Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion and will be named Sanford Anti-Racist Pedagogy Faculty Fellows. These Sanford Fellows will participate in additional activities sponsored by the Center for Empathy and Compassion Training in Medical Education, which will be detailed upon acceptance.
Please visit the program website for complete program and application details.
Please direct questions to Carolyn Sandoval, Associate Director, Teaching + Learning Commons and Director, Engaged Teaching Hub at c2sandoval@ucsd.edu or Karina M. Viaud, Associate Director of Engaged Teaching Hub at kviaud@ucsd.edu.
Selected fellows for each program are expected to actively engage with the learning community through participation and attendance in a retreat, regular meetings, implementation of a project, and post-program mentorship with future cohorts. Applications for both programs will be accepted through July 21, 2021. Fellows will be selected and notified by August 6, 2021.
