Internal Fellows and Fellowships
Each year, the Valente Center for the Arts and Sciences offers up to five fellowships to Bentley faculty from different disciplines who share an interest in a broad, transdisciplinary research theme. Fellows receive one course release per semester for the academic year, and in return participate in regular meetings with other fellows, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars and present their work in progress in the center’s Working Seminar series.
