The UCLA Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) has partnered with the Dialogue across Difference (DaD) Initiative to support instructors as they equip students with the tools to engage in complex conversations across differences in lived experience, cultural background, and perspective. The Fellows program supports UCLA instructors of record who are incorporating DaD values of intellectual engagement, curiosity, empathy, active listening, and critical thinking into their course materials and teaching practices. The initial 2024-25 cohort, which includes 15 fellows, is helping shape the campus culture and approach to challenging discourse.
Funding for these faculty fellowships is provided by the UCLA Teaching and Learning Center, the Anthony and Jeanne Pritzker Foundation, and the office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost. For questions about the DaD Faculty Fellows Program, contact edp@teaching.ucla.edu.
Applications for the 2024-25 cohort are closed. The next application period will open during winter quarter.
