Description:
The Columbia Institute for Ideas and Imagination’s purpose is to question the established ways in which knowledge is defined, produced, and taught. The Institute encourages applications in all disciplines and on any topic from candidates interested in participating in a creative community of scholars, artists, and thinkers.
There will be opportunities to host workshops and conferences. Regular participation within the community of fellows and mutual intellectual support are vital to the success of the Institute. The Institute, therefore, ask that other professional obligations such as teaching, speaking engagements, and research trips be kept to a minimum for the duration of the fellowship.
