Through a generous grant from the Teagle Foundation, DePaul University is inviting full time term and tenure-line faculty to join a community of scholars at the Civics Initiative Summer Institute (July 17-18, 2024) and two follow-up sessions during the following academic year.

The Summer Institute will support faculty as they develop their own sections of a powerful new interdisciplinary curriculum dedicated to helping students rigorously interrogate historical and contemporary political structures, acknowledge differences in their lived experiences, and build the democratic skills of listening and deliberation that will allow us to build a path forward. Faculty will learn strategies for facilitating productive conversations about controversial issues.

Eligibility
Tenure-line and term faculty from all units in the University are eligible to apply.

Compensation
Faculty chosen for participation will be awarded a summer stipend of $1600; for each of the two follow-up half day sessions in the AY 2024-25, participating faculty will receive a $400 stipend.

Application Timeline

The application timeline for Summer Institute 2024 is outlined below. Interested faculty should feel free to contact the Civics Initiative lead faculty, Molly Andolina and Ben Epstein, with questions before applying: mandolin@depaul.edu and bepstein@depaul.edu
