This May-June, the IAS will be piloting a new program: short-term themed fellowships.

IAS Residential Fellowships provide time for faculty, graduate students, staff, and community scholars, artists, and professionals to remove themselves from their normal obligations and work on their own research or creative practice.

We will be bringing together two cohorts of six virtual fellows whose interests engage a common theme over a few weeks, to share research and make productive connections. Fellows will meet for a total of 8 sessions over several weeks beginning mid-May, and will receive a $2,000 stipend. Our expectation is that the common interests will allow the fellows to make productive connections more quickly, and that the fellowship will advance the participants’ work in a meaningful way. The themes for the cohorts are “Water, Equity, and Justice” and “The Land-Grant/Land-Grab University.” We are seeking a disciplinary mix of STEM, humanities, arts, and social science perspectives. All University of Minnesota system faculty, staff, and graduate students, and community members from Minnesota, are eligible.
