Description: The Soros Equality Fellowship seeks to support individual leaders influencing and transforming the racial justice field. The aim of the Fellowship is to be flexible and open—a space to incubate new ideas, promote risk-taking, and develop different ways of thinking that challenge and expand our existing assumptions.

Award: Fellows will typically receive a $130,000 stipend over the 18-month fellowship to support expenses related to the project. The award amount is all-inclusive and is intended to cover a fellow’s living expenses, project-related expenses, travel, conference fees, health insurance, etc.

Eligibility: Candidates should have 10+ years’ experience and significant expertise in their field as well as  a track record of success advancing racial justice goals Applicants must be able to devote at least 35 hours per week to the project if awarded a Fellowship; and the project must be the applicant’s only full-time work during the course of the Fellowship. Applicants may be based outside the United States, provided their work directly pertains to a U.S. racial justice issue and is able to demonstrate a proficiency in spoken and written English. Fellows cannot be full-time students. See website for full eligibility details.

Description: The JAE and ACSA recognize the critical need to support the scholarship of architectural educators and researchers who face and continue to encounter systemic and structural obstacles, including racism, within academia and beyond. As a step toward this commitment, they have established one-year Fellowships and online publication commitments for cohorts of two to four architectural educators, designers, and researchers per year who self-identify as Black, Native/Indigenous, and/or as members of groups that are and have been historically and systemically marginalized and excluded, and whose academic labor is precarious, including adjunct, lecturer, and other non-tenure track faculty. Proposals may be made by individuals or as part of a collective and will be selected for advancement by the JAE Fellows Advocates, an international network of renowned architectural educators. See website for more info.

Award: Each fellowship includes a one-time award of $5,000 and an individually tailored commitment of mentorship and advocacy from the JAE Fellows Advocates. Awardees and Advocates will commit to established meetings throughout the duration of Fellowship. JAE Fellows’ work will be published at the end of the Fellowship period on JAE’s website and additional programming is planned—as desired by each Fellow—to highlight their work, including webinars, interviews, online conversations, and other events to engage a broader public and to open an expansive discourse on the future of disciplinary scholarship and publication.

Eligibility: Applications open to architectural educators anywhere in the world.
