2022 Visiting Teaching Fellows

UNSW EF Visiting Teaching Fellowships
 

Background
The UNSW EF Visiting Teaching Fellowships are designed to build the profile and connections of the UNSW education community with highly regarded educators across the tertiary sector in Australia and internationally. Initiated by a UNSW EF academic staff member, Fellowships provide opportunities to develop educational collaborations and facilitate interaction and engagement with UNSW staff and students.  
 
Visiting Teaching Fellows are expected to contribute to the educational work of their host’s school and Faculty during the period of their stay through a considered program of events that take place during the visit including guest lectures, presentations, seminars, workshops, forums, collaborative discussions, drop-in sessions, exhibitions, and other formats. Where appropriate, Visiting Teaching Fellows should also engage with the wider UNSW education community through these planned events.  

In 2023, the Education Focussed program will fund three UNSW EF Visiting Teaching Fellowships, up to $10,000 each. Funds may be used to help cover the costs of the visitor’s travel and associated costs. 

Hosts and visitors will be expected to communicate their program of events for promotion by the Education Focussed program and to document their visits for inclusion and promotion in UNSW and EF news and initiatives. Guidelines will be provided to successful applicants.
