Job Title: Judith S. Kaye Visiting Professorship in Humanities and the Law (Bard High School Early College in Manhattan)

Start Date: Spring 2022

Position Description

Thanks to a generous grant from the Historical Society of the New York Courts (HSNYC), Bard High School Early College Manhattan seeks applications for the spring 2022 Judith S. Kaye Fellowship in Humanities and the Law.  This fellowship funds a visiting scholar to develop and teach a semester-long college elective highlighting the New York Courts' role in shaping U.S. history and current events.  Past courses have examined the Right to Privacy, Civil Rights and Immigration Law, among other topics.   We are particularly interested in additional courses touching on these topics, as well as courses focusing on other areas of present concern, including Voting Rights and Environmental Rights.

The Kaye Fellowship will bring a distinguished scholar to the BHSEC Manhattan Campus to teach one three-credit college course in a one-semester appointment.  The class will meet four times a week for 45 minutes or two times a week for 90 minutes over a semester running from early February to late June. 

The Fellowship offers a stipend of $6000, and gives scholars the opportunity to present current research to the BHSEC community and the Historic Society of the Courts of New York.
