The fellowship supports up to two faculty each year in their advancement and completion of quality, innovative SoTL research projects that improve the understanding of teaching and learning. Full-time faculty members may apply for the fellowship. For collaborative SoTL projects, only one application may be submitted (usually for the primary investigator of a project). Previous fellowship recipients are not eligible to apply for four years after receiving the award.

Join us for an extended workshop to discover the award winning pedagogy “Reacting to the Past.” In this game-based learning strategy students take on the roles of historical actors in a structured game. In their role, they are delivering speeches, writing essays, while learning to collaborate with allies and opponents alike.

During this workshop, experienced Georgia Southern “Reactors” will provide an overview of the concept before taking us to 18th century France as we navigate the political battlegrounds of ” Rousseau, Burke, and Revolution in France, 1791.”
