[Air-L] CFA: Academic Summer Camp Faculty

[Daniela Rodriguez]

Applications open: Academic Summer Camp Faculty

Telluride Association seeks faculty to teach challenging, tuition-free
summer courses for high school sophomores and juniors, on the campuses of
Cornell University and the University of Maryland - College Park.

Courses may be in either (a) Black studies or (b) any other
humanities/social science field, as long as the content engages
anti-oppressive and anti-racist frameworks. For 2026, we are particularly
interested in courses related to science and technology studies (STS),
though any field is welcome.

Faculty benefit from the opportunity to pilot courses they might later
teach at their home institutions, as well as access to cultural resources
at our host institutions. Participants receive no grades or college credit;
instead, we emphasize deep inquiry and collaborative exploration.
