Bacca Fellowship for Undergraduate Course Enhancement in Language, Arts and Media 2024-25 Deadline:Applications accepted through May 17, 2024.

The Duke University Language, Arts, and Media Program (LAMP) is now accepting applications for the 2024-25 Bacca Fellowship for Undergraduate Course Enhancement in Language, Arts and Media.

The Bacca Fellowship aims to create an invigorating, collegial faculty learning community (FLC) where faculty from across disciplines can together reflect on their undergraduate pedagogies and develop dynamic plans to achieve their desired LAMP-related learning outcomes for undergraduates.

Bacca Fellows explore undergraduate course enhancements through new pedagogies or materials consistent with any of the following LAMP strategic priorities:

Media Literacy

Multimedia Design

Teaching with Creativity

Public Engagement with Language, Arts and Media

The Bacca Fellowship includes a day-long introductory workshop in late August, monthly Bacca Fellow meetings during fall 2024, opportunities for individual consultations, workshops, and class visits during spring 2025, and a final group meeting at the end of spring semester where Bacca Fellows share reflections on their pedagogical projects.

Bacca Fellows receive a stipend of $1500, payable into a discretionary account in two installments (December 24 and May 25).

To apply: Please send a 200-300 word proposal to Michelle Gregersen, LAMP Program Coordinator, in which you address your aims for the Bacca Fellowship, including how they relate to one or more of the LAMP strategic priorities (see above). Bacca Fellows can focus on a particular course, assignment, class activity, or undergraduate pedagogy more broadly conceived. Eligibility: Duke faculty of any rank, department, or program who teach undergraduates.
