List of ARC Fellows
The ARC Fellows Program advances interdisciplinary research in the arts at UC Berkeley by supporting undergraduate, graduate, faculty, and community fellows as they pursue semester-long projects. Fellows have been chosen from over 48 departments on campus, and in 2023 the program brought together fellows from Berkeley, University of H'awaii at Mānoa, Arizona State University, and the North Star Collective writing group luk'upsímey.
The fellowship program has evolved over the past 15 years to include:
- From 2009 – 2011, ARC fellows were all faculty members
- From 2012 – 2019, ARC fellows were self-nominated pairs of graduate students and faculty members pursuing semester-long collaborative projects of their own design.
- From spring 2020-fall 2023, the ARC Fellows Program served as a platform for our Poetry and the Senses Initiative. Fellows formed horizontal working groups that brought together faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students, and community poets
- In fall 2023, ARC added Indigenous Poetics Lab fellows
