Students working directly with prints by Helen Frankenthaler from the museum\u2019s collection.\nWhat you need to know<\/p>\n
The Syracuse University Art Museum is now accepting applications for the 2026-27 Faculty Fellows program. The program supports faculty across all disciplines in bringing the museum\u2019s collection of over 45,000 objects into their teaching.<\/p>\n
Now in its fifth year, the Faculty Fellows program centers\u00a0on object-based teaching and research through an active,\u00a0experiential\u00a0approach that asks students to make close observations, analyze evidence and develop their own interpretations in real time. Up to four\u00a0fellows\u00a0will be selected and paired with museum staff\u2014including curators Melissa Yuen and Kate Holohan\u2014for a hands-on introduction to the collection and ongoing curricular support. Each Faculty Fellow receives a $2,500 stipend or research subsidy.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s Involved?<\/p>\n
Fellows work with museum staff to develop a museum visit lesson plan, at least one object-based student assignment and a collection-based teaching guide tied to a 2026-27 course.
\nThe bulk of the work takes place during the summer of 2026 (total time commitment of approximately50 hours).<\/p>\n
Who can apply?<\/p>\n
The Faculty Fellows program is open to all University tenured, tenure-track and full-time non-tenure track faculty teaching in 2026-27.
\nProposals from any school, college or discipline are welcome.
\nFor fall 2026 courses, the museum especially welcomes proposals engaging in themes of ecology, climate change, consumption and material culture in connection with our upcoming exhibitions.<\/p>\n

More information including the entire call for applications andr equired application materials can be found on the Art Museum\u2019s website<\/a>. Previous\u00a0Faculty Fellows<\/p>\n Colleen Cameron,\u00a0professor of practice in human development and family science in the College of Arts and Sciences,\u00a0is a Faculty Fellow for 2025-26 who integrated museum materials into her course, Healthcare Communications: Research, Theory and\u00a0Practice this past fall. As part of\u00a0the course, students selected an object that connected to death notification and presented their research at the end of the semester.<\/p>\n Omar\u00a0Cheta,\u00a0a 2023-24 Faculty Fellow and assistant professor of history in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs,\u00a0utilized\u00a0a carpet, painting and 19th-century photograph in his course, The Middle East Since the Rise of Islam. Cheta\u00a0encouraged his students to\u00a0explore\u00a0traces\u00a0of the past\u00a0through material objects, rather than\u00a0just\u00a0through\u00a0textually transmitted ideas.<\/p>\n Elizabeth Wimer, assistant teaching professor\u00a0in\u00a0the Whitman School of Management, was a 2024-25 Faculty Fellow. She\u00a0explored how artistic representation of African culture relates to the continual evolution of the interconnectedness of the global economy through objects in the museum\u2019s collection as part of her Managing in a Global Setting course.\u00a0Her work culminated in a Spring 2025 exhibition along with\u00a0a separate exhibition\u00a0organized by\u00a0Lindsay Gratch, a 2024-25 Faculty Fellow.<\/p>\n The Faculty Fellows program is made possible with the support of the Office of Strategic Initiatives and Office of Research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Syracuse University Art Museum is now accepting applications for the 2026-27 Faculty Fellows program.
