Emily Kalejs Qazilbash, Professor of Practice in the Department of Education, will serve as a Provost Faculty Teaching Fellow for two years as part of a cohort of senior faculty at Brown. The fellows collaborate with Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning academic staff to serve as a peer facilitator of one or more of the following initiatives: Seminar for Transformation on Anti-Racist Teaching, Faculty Writing Communities, Launch New Faculty Orientation, and Science Fridays. In addition to a focal initiative, Fellows attend Sheridan Center advisory groups meetings. Fellows are also occasionally asked, pending availability, to optionally engage with Sheridan Center staff in professional learning (e.g., invitations to events or meetings with visiting experts) or engage in other Sheridan Center activities to advance teaching and learning at and beyond Brown. These activities include faculty roundtables to spotlight their teaching innovations to other Brown instructors, as well as conference presentations, to highlight Sheridan’s work to the broader higher education community.
