| Carnegie Corporation of New York is pleased to help launch the Carnegie African Diaspora Fellows Program. African-born scholars currently living in the United States and Canada and working in higher education are eligible and can sign up now for further information. The scholar-exchange program, offered by the Institute of International Education in partnership with Quinnipiac University, is an ambitious project to build international research partnerships mediated by Africa's diaspora—in short, to turn the continent's "brain drain" into "brain gain." The 100 short-term faculty exchange fellows will conduct collaborative research in curricula development, co-publish, and supervise graduate students. IIE will manage and administer the program, including applications, project requests, and fellowships. Quinnipiac University will provide strategic direction through Dr. Paul Tiyambe Zeleza, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Professor of History at Quinnipiac University, and an Advisory Council he will chair. Fellows will engage in educational projects proposed and hosted by faculty at higher education institutions in countries where Carnegie Corporation operates in sub-Saharan Africa. Sign up now to receive application forms and guidelines when available. |
