To request more information for the upcoming program, please submit your email address below. We’ll be in touch shortly.
The application for the 2023 fellowship is November 6, 2022.
In order to maximize the gain from the program and from the combined wisdom in the room, we expect fellows to fully participate in all aspects of the program; however, you can miss up to two sessions for an unexpected circumstance.
We believe in creating ideologically pluralistic spaces. The cohort will include participants of all backgrounds.
After the completion of the Pedagogies of Peoplehood Research Fellowship, fellows will share their work with the larger Jewish educational field during an online symposium that they will help develop.
This program is a living laboratory of Jewish Peoplehood and as such we welcome Jewish Educators from across the globe, providing they are able to meet at midday ET.
Apply here. Please expect to invest at least two hours to complete the application. You are welcome to work on the essay questions in advance, which can be found here.
The fellowship is designed for you to take time to reflect on yourself as an educator. You will also be working with the faculty members, who are immersed in the world of pedagogy and can help you become even more articulate about educational practices and pedagogies.
Fellows will receive $3,000 over the course of the fellowship. Fellows will receive $500 after submitting a research plan; $1,000 after the first draft of their paper and $1,500 after the final draft of the paper.
The program will be conducted in English but for those who feel more comfortable in Hebrew, it will be possible to write their final deliverables in that language. Also, all the faculty speak Hebrew fluently.
M²’s Research Fellowships are run with support from the Covenant Foundation, the Lippman Kanfer Foundation for Living Torah, the Rodan Family Foundation, and Taube Philanthropies.
