2020-21 Workshops Accepting Applications
Workshop for Early Career Theological School Faculty
Workshop for Early Career Latinx Religion Faculty in Universities, Colleges, and Theological Schools
Calendar
Our usual pattern is to convene a group of 14 participants and 4 workshop leaders. The workshop or colloquy meets for a week during the summer on the Wabash College campus, followed by an extended weekend on the south Texas coast in January, and a final week back at Wabash the following summer.
Applications are typically due January 15. The application form and short application essay prompts become available here each year in late September or early October.
To receive timely announcements, follow us on Twitter or Facebook or sign up for our e-newsletter. Our schedule of workshops is determined by the three-year grant cycles from Lilly Endowment Inc. and is subject to change.
Types
Typically we start new Early Career Workshops every summer for faculty in theological education, and a new workshop two out of every three summers for faculty teaching in undergraduate contexts.
Colloquies for Mid-Career Faculty begin every other year, alternating between theological and undergraduate contexts.
We also convene Early Career Workshops that focus on teaching issues of particular resonance to racial and ethnic minority faculty. Workshops have followed successively for African American, faculty, Latino/a faculty, and Asian, Asian North American, faculty.
We convene additional workshops and conferences on an occasional basis, sometimes by application and sometimes by invitation.

Mid Career Colloquies typically provide opportunities for participants to apply for special funding for small grant projects that extend the learning and discussions of the colloquy.
