CERCLL Faculty Research Fellow Program
The Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language, and Literacy (CERCLL) offers an annual CERCLL Faculty Fellow competition, the purpose of which is to promote scholarly work connected to the mission of CERCLL as a Title VI National Language Resource Center, i.e., to research and develop the teaching of culture, language and literacy, especially within less commonly taught languages (LCTLs). Recipients create resources and webinars that can be found in the blog below.
These fellowships have been supported over the years by the University of Arizona’s College of Humanities and the University of Arizona Vice President for Research through the Office of Research and Partnerships.
