Moynihan Public Scholars Fellowship
Moynihan Public Scholars Fellowship
Overview
The deadline for this competition is January 15, 2024, at 11:59 pm.
The Moynihan Public Scholars Fellowship takes inspiration from Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s celebrated career, which traversed the academy, government, and the media. Moynihan’s scholarship was “public” in the sense that it informed his work as a public servant and provoked impassioned public debate. In this spirit, Moynihan Public Scholars are chosen from among academic researchers, public service practitioners, and writers or journalists with a demonstrated ability to blend critical thought, political engagement, and popular communication.
Like Senator Moynihan, Public Scholars pursue bold, heterodox ideas—especially ones that cut across entrenched partisan divisions—in service of the public good. Public Scholars are enthusiastic participants in an intellectual community that serves City College, including yearly cohorts of Moynihan Undergraduate Student Fellows, and New York City at large. Through workshops and public events, Public Scholars draw inspiration from peer Fellows and luminaries in their respective fields to catalyze and amplify innovative thinking on public affairs.
Fellows receive unrestricted awards of up to $100,000 and have dedicated office space on City College’s historic campus in Harlem, New York City
Program Structure
A brief overview of the year of writing, teaching, and public engagement is outlined below.
Fall Semester (Sep – Dec):
During their first semester on campus, Fellows will focus on their individual writing projects and participate in a weekly seminar to learn from and share with other Moynihan Public Scholars, City College faculty, invited guests, and the Moynihan Student Fellows. Over the course of this semester, each Fellow will give two presentations in the seminar: one for peers, including CCNY faculty and relevant experts from the New York City area; and one for Moynihan Student Fellows, chosen from CCNY’s undergraduates. Each presentation will be an opportunity to engage with distinctive intellectual communities, offering fertile ground to germinate new ideas.
Winter (Jan):
Reflecting the academic calendar, Fellows will spend January working independently on their own writing projects and preparing for their teaching semester.
Spring Semester (Feb – May):
During the spring semester, Fellows will continue to work on their own writing projects. Fellows will also teach one undergraduate course informed (or inspired) by their work. These classes will meet twice per week for one hour and fifteen minutes and are an opportunity to engage more deeply with CCNY’s diverse and intellectually curious student body.
Summer (Jun – Aug):
Fellows will spend the summer months working independently on their own projects, workshopping public-facing outputs with cohort members, and leveraging Moynihan Center networks in media, government, philanthropy, and community organizations to advance and amplify their work.
