The Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC) of The Graduate Center invites tenured and tenure-track scholars both within and outside of CUNY to apply for our 2021-2022 Distinguished Faculty Awards.
Broadly defined, the research areas are:

  • Race, Migration, & Diversity
  • Multilingualism & Translation
  • Inequality (Qualitative and Quantitative)
  • Global Cities

We are particularly interested in projects that can speak to both humanistic and social scientific concern.

Distinguished awardees will be provided an office, computer, and access to The Graduate Center’s academic infrastructure. In return, all fellows are expected to carry out their work regularly at The Graduate Center and to participate in its intellectual and academic community. In practice, this means:

  • Using their Graduate Center office on a regular basis
  • Interacting regularly and sharing their work with other ARC scholars
  • Presenting their research at one of the weekly seminars
  • Attending the weekly seminars on Thursdays from 4:00-5:30 as well as other ARC events

Distinguished Awards fall into two categories:

    • Distinguished Visiting Scholarsfor scholars who are not employed by the City University of New York. A Distinguished Visiting Scholar will receive an office, computer, and access to The Graduate Center’s academic infrastructure. Scholars can stay for one or two semesters, or for a shorter period. Depending on the duration of stay, travel costs to and from the fellowship can be reimbursed for the most economical fare only (up to maximum of $3,000) following the submission of the required documentation.
  • Distinguished CUNY Fellowsfor tenured and tenure-track faculty at one of the campuses of the City University of New York. A Distinguished CUNY Fellow will receive course buyouts up to a maximum of 3 course releases for one semester.
