The Wayland Collegium provides the opportunity to invite a visiting Fellow to campus not just for a single lecture but to stay long enough to engage more deeply, especially with those faculty working beyond the framework of their discipline, in creating new courses or implementing significant changes in existing courses. These Fellows may be in residence at Brown for up to four days.

Intended to further build faculty connections among colleagues working in new areas and to support interdisciplinary teaching and innovative approaches to active and collaborative learning, proposals for Fellows should be for:
- Courses focusing on fundamental themes of human life or problems of society, and on collaborative approaches to them by several disciplines or ways of thinking not found in existing disciplines.
- Courses considering various relationships among different modes of thought and exploring the possibilities of integrative treatment of these diverse ways of thinking.
- Innovations in teaching that promote active learning by students individually or in groups.

Some recent Wayland Fellows have participated in the following courses: AC 161, AF 99, EAS 146, and SP 170.

Proposals for a Wayland Fellow grant should include:

- course title and brief description
- names of faculty participants
- brief biography and CV of Fellow and description of proposed activities at Brown
- objectives, subject, teaching strategies
- evidence of preliminary contact and of Fellow's willingness to come if funded
- budget description with major spending categories
- reasons why the Wayland Collegium is an appropriate funding source.

The Wayland Collegium will award $3000, including travel and stipend, per Fellow. A brief report is required at the end of the academic year.

Applications (with 10 copies) should be submitted to:

James Valles
Office of the Dean of the College, Box 1828

There is no specific deadline. The Collegium will support two Wayland Fellows per year. Please contact the senior fellow well ahead of an anticipated application to discuss eligibility.

Faculty who are interested in discussing grant proposals are encouraged to get in touch with the Collegium at any time. Please contact Ken Sacks, Senior Fellow of the Wayland Collegium and Professor of History. He may reached at Ken Sacks or at extension 3-2658.
