Mellon Teaching Fellowships at CRASSH

"For me it was the most valuable opportunity. The Mellon Teaching Fellowship provided me with time to think, read and discuss with my co-convenor and to develop this work into new teaching. In ten years of teaching at Cambridge I have never had such intellectual space to dedicate to developing lectures."  
Dr Elizabeth Watson (Geography, Newnham), Mellon Teaching Fellow Lent 2011

The Mellon Teaching Fellowships, part of the Centre for Disciplinary Innovation at CRASSH, are co-taught by two people from different disciplinary areas, Faculties, or Schools at the University of Cambridge. They are designed to encourage dialogue across disciplines, stimulate research-led teaching, or pilot a course for a new MPhil. or Tripos paper. Further information about previous Mellon Teaching Seminars is available here and current below.
