Fellowship Description:
Description of Project: Each year, FASPE produces a Journal (print and digital) that is a compilation of writings of FASPE Fellows, Alumni and Faculty. These are non-scholarly, non-Peer Reviewed; and can take the form of essays, reflections on the FASPE experience, fiction, poetry or otherwise. The Project entails the management of the entire process—including choosing the pieces to be included, managing the editing of the pieces and organizing the ultimate completion and distribution of the Journal.
Mentors: Rebecca Scott, Program Director of FASPE and David Goldman, Chair of FASPE.
Specific Tasks:
- With faculty who are expert in the particular professions, review and select the works to be included in the publication.
- Manage and conduct the editing of the selected works.
- Direct the completion and publication of the Journal.
- Collaboration: Fellowship will be conducted in collaboration with Ms. Scott who will solicit and manage the submission of pieces, faculty who will participate in the selection process and FASPE staff who will assist in the publication and distribution process.
- Academic Focus: Writing and editing skills; an interest in the basic FASPE topics is helpful, not required.

"Stories and experiences are all inherently driven by their underlying narrative, the way that they ebb and flow as different information is added. This allows us to merge our creative understanding of storytelling with our empirical knowledge of how we consume them. That’s why I love getting to be a storyteller as well as a story analyzer, and why I love incorporating this awareness into my creative and intellectual practice. I have been invited to collaborate as part of the New Media Studio program, and I'm excited to leverage my skills to both learn and teach!"
