Faculty play a big part in ensuring that Duquesne students receive a horizon-expanding education and that they graduate from the University prepared for anything. Applications are being accepted for the Gaultier Community-Engaged Teaching Fellowships, which enable faculty to share successful community-engaged teaching strategies, assist emerging community-engaged teachers and disseminate their practices in the form of an academic product.
Specifics are available online about the 2021-2022 Gaultier Fellowship, which is sponsored by the Center for Community-Engaged Teaching and Research (CETR). Applications are due Monday, May 31.
Each year CETR establishes a theme that reflects an aspect of community-engaged teaching. Faculty who have found strategies to address the challenges represented in the 2021-2022 theme—inclusion—are encouraged to apply.
Applicants should consider the following prompts when completing the application:
- What inclusive practice(s) have you employed in your own engaged classroom?
- In what ways have you expanded the boundaries of campus to co-generate knowledge inclusive of our local and global communities and partners?
- What is your experience with developing inclusive practices, processes, creative activities, policies, etc. alongside community partners and students?
Through the Gaultier Fellowship, CETR contributes to future generations of community-engaged teachers by:
- Establishing cohorts of Master Teachers with expertise in particular facets of community-engaged teaching.
- Advancing a form of mentorship between master and emerging community-engaged teachers so they can learn together.
- Enhancing the quality of community-engaged learning experiences for Duquesne undergraduates.
