Call for Proposals: Changemaker Fellows: Anti-Racist Pedagogy Learning Community

We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for the Changemaker Anti-Racist Pedagogy Learning Community Fellowship.

The Teaching + Learning Commons Engaged Teaching Hub invites faculty to apply for the 2022-2023 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 in their teaching. Selected faculty receive a fellowship award of $5,000 over Winter and Spring 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 open to all full-time UC San Diego Academic Senate faculty members and Unit 18 Lecturers 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 School of Medicine are also eligible. All School of Medicine applicants should be engaged in direct classroom or clinical teaching with medical learners and propose projects with a focus on enhancing these training activities. Successful School of Medicine faculty applicants will be supported by the T. Denny Sanford Institute for Empathy and Compassion’s Center for Empathy and Compassion Training in Medical Education 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, including formal presentation of their project outcomes, which will be detailed upon acceptance.

Please visit the program website for complete program and application details.

Selected fellows for the program are expected to actively engage with the learning community through participation and attendance in a retreat, learning community meetings, and implementation of a project. Applications for the 2022-2023 Anti-Racist Pedagogy Learning Community will be accepted through Sunday, Nov. 20, 2022. Fellows will be selected and notified by Thursday, Dec. 1, 2022.

Please direct questions to Carolyn Sandoval, Associate Director, Teaching + Learning Commons and Director, Engaged Teaching Hub at c2sandoval@ucsd.edu and Karina M. Viaud, Associate Director, Engaged Teaching Hub at kviaud@ucsd.edu.
