In turn, the fellows benefit from immersion in the intellectual life of the college, a focus on a foundational scholarly project, and growth in their capacities as teachers, guided by Macalester faculty. These fellowships are intended to support faculty in the humanities and social sciences. Fellows serve two-year terms and teach three courses per academic year.
