One of the most robust programs of our center is our fellowship program. We support scholars at all levels of their career trajectory, from undergraduates, postdoctoral fellows, first year graduate fellows, and early and advanced faculty across the university. These fellowship cohorts participate in regular gatherings, weekly writing sessions, professional development workshops, and share works-in-progress.
Faculty Fellows
The Faculty Fellows program fosters and supports an interdisciplinary group of scholars at various stages of their careers selected from the Yale community whose work centers on race, and/or indigeneity, and/or transnational migration.
Graduate Fellows
To attract the best graduate students to Yale and to support their work, the Center designates a select number of incoming doctoral students annually as RITM Graduate Fellows.
Pedagogy Fellows
The RITM Center partnered with colleagues at Brown University, University of Chicago, and Stanford University to organize a Teaching Race Graduate Fellowship that gathered doctoral students across institutions interested in improving their pedagogical practices.
Undergraduate Fellows
Each year, RITM selects a small cohort of Yale College seniors as Undergraduate Fellows to share and develop their senior thesis research.
Visiting Fellows
RITM hosts postdoctoral fellows, arts and practitioner fellows, and visiting faculty fellows from universities across the United States.
Dissertation Fellows
Each year RITM partners with the Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning to host cohorts of dissertation writers engaged in consistent writing practice led by a graduate coordinator. These small communities of dissertation writers meet weekly to exchange feedback, make steady progress, and support one another. Groups are available for students writing both humanities and social science dissertations, with additional groups for students writing on topics related to race, indigeneity, and transnational migration (RITM).

This is such an important resource, especially for junior faculty, in order for us to be able to reach the research and professional goals we’re all trying to achieve, and in my experience is instrumental to being able to achieve them.
