Critical Speaking Fellowships
Instructions and Application for 2011-12 are due April 11, 2011.
CWiC offers advanced doctoral students in the School of Arts and Sciences the opportunity to teach their own courses through the Critical Speaking Seminars program. Critical Speaking courses are discipline-based courses in the liberal arts that consider some aspect of oral communication from the point of view of the discipline in which the course is taught. This program encourages graduate students whose interests touch on ideas related to speaking to turn those interests into courses.
