The University of Arizona Center for Middle Eastern Studies (CMES) and Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language, and Literacy (CERCLL) invite applications from community college faculty from Arizona Western College, Cochise College, Diné College (lower division courses), Maricopa County Community Colleges, Pima Community College, San Carlos Apache College, and Tohono O’odham College for our annual International Studies Partnership Program (ISPP) Competition. This fellowship program supports faculty from Arizona community colleges to work collaboratively with colleagues at the University of Arizona on projects aimed to internationalize community college course curricula. These projects will create, redesign, or expand a course unit or syllabus to include substantial Middle Eastern-North African content or foreign language content.

We welcome applications from a variety of fields, including humanities, social sciences, and sciences, for in-person, hybrid, and online classes. Fellows will receive a $500 stipend per semester and UArizona library privileges. Depending upon the project scope and topic, you may apply for up to two semesters. Applications are currently being accepted for Fall 2023, Spring 2024, or both semesters.
