Faculty Writing Circles
The Faculty Scholarship Circles are research and writing communities where faculty members can join year-long cohorts based on their disciplinary backgrounds and interests to explore research questions, creative works, writing projects, and other scholarly activity. Scholarship Circles are open to all full-time faculty members at any stage of their careers at Kingsborough.
Each Scholarship Circle is led by two facilitators, each of whom are associate or full professors with an established record of creative and/or scholarly work, and who possess a deep interest in and commitment to mentoring and supporting their colleagues. The Scholarship Circles will meet at least four times per semester and will offer participating faculty a cohort of supportive colleagues with whom they can discuss their projects and receive feedback on their work.
Faculty participating in the scholarship circles may apply for funds to cover costs associated with the publication process such as travel associated with data collection, archive visits, and conference presentations, transcription costs, and/or purchasing software/support for data analysis.
