CCM - Contemplative Practice Fellowships - suspended

Organization: Center for Contemplative Mind in Society

These fellowships seek to restore and renew the critical contribution that contemplative practices can make to the life of teaching, learning, and scholarship. At the heart of the program is the belief that pedagogical and intellectual benefits can be discovered by bringing contemplative practice into the academy, and that contemplative awareness can help to create a more just, compassionate, and reflective society. Fellowships for the 2008-2009 academic year are offered for the development of courses that employ contemplative practices to address issues of social conflict and injustice, the amelioration of suffering, and the promotion of peace. Regular full-time faculty members at accredited academic institutions in the United States and Canada are eligible to apply for these fellowships. There are no citizenship restrictions.
