The Fellowship
What a year in the Fellowship asks of you.
One cohort, one year, four pillars that hold it together. Here is how the seminar, the residencies, the capstone, and the convening fit across the calendar.
The Fellowship
Four pillars,
one year, one cohort.
The Fellowship sets contemplation against consequence: the seminar table against the field, the discipline against the world.
Fellows are not students. They are early peers, already serious about a question, now given the time, the company, and the means to pursue it well.
Seminar
A weekly intellectual table led by faculty and visiting scholars. It draws on political economy, technology policy, the natural sciences, and the humanities, widening the lens before the work narrows.
Residency
Four extended residencies across the continent. Fellows live and work alongside operating institutions, two to four weeks at each: research labs, public agencies, ventures of consequence.
Capstone
A year-end work of meaningful scope: a paper, a prototype, a policy brief, an institution begun. Selected by the fellow, shepherded by an advisor, presented to the convening.
Convening
The Fellowship is finite; the network is not. Fellows enter a lifelong assembly of alumni, stewards, and faculty who continue to read, write, and build alongside one another.
