Faculty Opportunities

The Center for Humanities & the Arts offers multiple funding and recognition opportunities for CU Boulder faculty engaged with research in arts and humanities.

Fellowships

  Faculty Fellowship: All Assistant, Associate, and Full Professors working in the humanities and the arts on the Boulder campus are eligible to apply for the CHA Faculty Fellowship. Fellowships consist of a teaching reduction taken in a single semester, and a cohort of colleagues to discuss research projects and professional topics.

  Reparative Faculty Fellowship to Address Settler Colonialism: A Faculty Fellowship to engage in the repair process—because we believe that the acknowledgment of Indigenous land should come with reparations. To that end, we have created a faculty fellowship to address the harm of settler colonialism.

Travel & Research Support

  Small Grant Program: The CHA Small Grant Program provides up to $3,000 in support of the research and creative efforts of CU Boulder faculty and staff to deepen and enrich the range of humanistic and artistic activities on campus. 

  Celebration of Major Works Magazine: An online and printed annual publication, the Faculty Celebration of Major Works magazine is a celebration of faculty accomplishments in the previous year.

  Hazel Barnes Flat: The Hazel Barnes Flat in the heart of London is a gift to scholars in the humanities and arts by Hazel Barnes and Doris Schwalbe for researchers doing scholarly work in Great Britain.
