Last Spring, the Center for Arts & Language introduced three new Faculty Fellow roles intended to support curricular integration and enhance student support and faculty resources. We’re happy to announce our 2026-27 cohort and share their plans, detailed below.
You can reach out to any of the fellows or to A&L director Jen Liese by email to discuss engaging with these projects. This Fall, the four of us gather at A&L (College Building 200) on Wednesdays, 1-2 PM, if you’d like to stop by.
Susan Solomon (LAS, THAD), Written and Oral Communication Fellow
Susan will offer an in-house workshop for students on “Voice” at A&L on October 27 from 1-2 PM. The event will lead students through reading and writing exercises and discussion to explore how voice takes on distinct registers, volumes, tones, individuality, and anonymity in response to the complex, local situations in which thinkers hope to be heard.
Susan will also offer a workshop for students on “Slowing Down?” at A&L in Wintersession, date TBD. A student-centered counterpart to T+LL’s Slow Teaching last year, the event will provide students with resources to make their own value-driven and intentional choices about if, when, why, and how to refuse AI in their reading- and writing-based learning processes.
Both of these workshops will be bookable in classes after the initial workshop at A&L.
Sara Majka (LAS), Multilingual Learning Fellow
Sara is researching and seeking faculty input on the particular challenges of teaching in a classroom with both English-fluent and multilingual students. This research will inform developing a “toolkit” of responsive classroom activities focused on multilingual learners that support learning for all students.
The toolkit resources will be available to faculty starting in Wintersession, and Sara will be available to provide in-class workshops in which she leads the activities in collaboration with you and in alignment with course goals.
Marisa Mazria Katz (CTC), Publishing Fellow
Marisa is programming “Artists, Designers, and Scholars in Public(ation),” a series of gatherings for faculty and students who want to connect their work to larger audiences by way of news and culture publications.
In the Fall, editors will talk about their work and share opportunities to contribute (Thursdays, 12-1, at A&L, CB 200).
October 22, Rachel Ossip, Deputy Editor, Triple Canopy
October 29, Honor Jones, Senior Editor, The Atlantic
November 5, John Gravois, Senior Editor, Wired
November 12, Aaron Retica, Opinion Editor, The New York Times
November 19, Chloe Stead, Associate Editor, frieze
December 3, Monica Racic, Digital Director, The New Yorker
In WS/Spring, Marisa will organize workshops on pitching, writing about your work, audio storytelling, zine-making, and book proposals, plus faculty group writing sessions if there’s interest.
