Apply To The Program
Participating faculty fellows work together with partnered artist fellows to design a project that reflects on one or more forms of social inequity, and to embed their project into one of the faculty member’s existing syllabi on any topic. Fellows decide together how to incorporate their project into their syllabus, as well as the nature and frequency of the ASJ Artist Fellow’s engagement with the class.
Faculty from the Emory College of Arts and Sciences are encouraged to apply. Artist applicants must reside in the metro Atlanta area. Strong candidates should demonstrate an interest in advancing social justice through their work and a dedication to pedagogy.
A change in the 2026 application cycle allows for faculty to apply with their own pre-determined artist partner. Faculty who apply with an artist will not be given preference over solo faculty applicants.

I was a part of the inaugural cohort of ASJ fellows in 2020. We had full license to really create the program, which was exciting but also daunting. And I just remember being so energized by the students. They were brilliant and engaged and fully bought into this completely new concept. And what was so inspiring working with Hank Klibanoff in his Georgia Civil Rights Cold Cases Project class was that the intersection we created of journalism, history, and theater burst open a whole new window into the lives of the Atlantans we were studying and provided a much more intimate and impactful perspective for all of us.
