Associate Professor Fellows

The Associate Professor Fellowships are designed to provide research time for associate professors in the humanities at this crucial stage in their career. The program, supported by the Townsend Center and the Dean of Arts and Humanities, enables up to three associate professors to devote the spring term to a research project of their choosing.
