The Experimental College announces a special opportunity to design and teach your own course during the Fall 2021 semester. The Robyn Gittleman Graduate Teaching Fellowships are open to advanced Tufts PhD and MFA students who are considering a career as university faculty.
Named after the long-time ExCollege Director, the Robyn Gittleman Graduate Teaching Fellowships provide Fellows with guidance in constructing and leading their own elective course for undergraduates through the ExCollege (3 SHU, letter-graded). In addition, Fellows participate in a roundtable throughout the semester to explore topics including pedagogical theory and practical classroom teaching methods. An award of $5,000 is attached to each Fellowship.
