 The Faculty Residency Program is supported by a generous grant from the United Negro College Fund/Andrew W. Mellon Programs. This program serves the faculty of the member institutions of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF). Faculty members in the humanities and humanistic social sciences are in residence at the Johnson Institute for one semester. During their residency, UNCF faculty members are engaged in research that examines topics within the civil rights movement as well as other topics shaping the fields and disciplines in the humanities and the humanistic social sciences. Faculty members participating in the Faculty Residency Program do not teach, but rather are engaged in full time research. During the period of the residency, faculty members present their research within the framework of the colloquium series sponsored by the Johnson Institute.
The purpose of the Faculty Residency Program is to support UNCF faculty engaged in research in the several collections of the Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL) of Emory University. Further, the program seeks to strengthen the ties between Emory University and the member institutions of the United Negro College Fund. Above all, the program underscores the various ways in which the Johnson Institute seeks to serve as a scholarly resource for faculty at UNCF institutions. For additional information about the UNCF Faculty Residency Program contact Dr. Cynthia Neal Spence, Director of UNCF/Mellon Programs at cspence@spelman.edu or visit www.UNCFMellon.org.
