University of Delaware professors were recently selected as the
inaugural Arts and Humanities Faculty Fellows in the College of Arts and
Sciences. The new program is designed to advance the research and
creative endeavors of this college's early career faculty members. The
fellowship will culminate in a showcase of the fellows' works planned
for 2023-24.
“This was a highly competitive process and all
involved were deeply im​pressed by the caliber of the proposals
submitted. It was difficult to choose from the talented pool that
applied," noted John A. Pelesko, dean of the College of Arts &
Sciences. “These new fellows are engaged in exciting research and
creative projects that span a range of disciplines across the arts and
humanities."
Award funding can be used in a variety of ways to
support research, including wages to support a research assistant,
travel to professional conferences, a reduction in course load, and
other research-related expenses.
