FHC Collaborative Fellowship

FHC Collaborative Fellowship

The Furman Collaborative Fellowship promotes collegiality, collaboration, and multi-disciplinary scholarship, research, and creative activity on pressing societal issues and larger humanistic questions that foster understanding of the human condition. Each year the FHC will support the formation of up to one or two multi-disciplinary cohorts of Furman faculty members (four max) from three different academic disciplines to examine issues of pressing concern in the humanities and arts. Members of the cohort receiving an award agree to meet at least six times during the academic year, provide a record of their discussions, and present the results of their collaboration in a public colloquium, symposium, or performance. In addition, cohort members will have the option to sponsor up to three CLP events linked to their chosen theme. One of these CLPs should share the project with the wider Furman community and should feature a majority of if not all fellows involved. Participants also must agree to serve on future selection committees for Collaborative Fellows.
