The Mellon/SAR Academic Freedom Workshop and Fellowship program provides a research stipend and a supportive professional community for researchers to develop and share related work on academic freedom and/or related higher education values leading to a publishable article; new course offering; workshop, webinar, or conference presentation; or other identified end product. Over the course of the eight-month program, fellows complete their proposed project and participate in regular virtual workshop sessions during which they will be asked to present the progress of their work and to offer feedback on the work of other fellows. Fellows will receive a stipend of $8000 to cover research expenses, publication, or other related costs.
