Thinking of applying to be an irid Teaching Fellow? The time is now!

Don’t be coy, we know you’ve been thinking about us. You’ve been saying to yourself,

“What if I had a space to develop my weird, long-time passion project into something more structured?”

“What if I could share my learnings from my work with others, and grow in the process?”

“What if I had dedicated support from an experienced teaching team and a platform to enable all of this?”

The answer is clear: You should apply to be an irid Teaching Fellow. And the great news is that you have until this Monday, when our application closes!

Apply here to become an irid Teaching Fellow

Deadline: Monday, June 29th, 11:59PM EST

Our FAQ has all the answers about the Fellows program and application process. But if you have even more burning questions, comments, or concerns…

…come chat with us at Office Hours!

Whether you’re on the fence about applying to be a Fellow, or you’d simply like to pick Michelle and Chloë’s brains, we’d love to meet you. Let’s talk about the kinds of cultural and intellectual infrastructure we can all be part of building in Toronto. Or just discuss Olivia Rodrigo’s newest album. Things of equal importance.

Book a spot on our calendar here!

Know anyone who you think we’d vibe with? Forward this to them – we’d love to meet.

Stay tuned for other ways to be part of irid’s inaugural semester

We haven’t forgotten about our future students and broader community members. We’re cooking up some exciting ways for all of you to get involved and follow along before courses begin, including an insider’s peek into the curriculum development process. 

Keep an eye out for details on our mid-summer showcase in August, where this year’s Fellows will show off their work and give prospective students a taste of what to expect from each course as enrollment opens. More to follow soon!

That’s it for today – thank you for making it this far, and we hope you’ll keep joining us on this grand adventure.

Keep it cool, and stay in school. 

(And Happy Pride!)

Love,

Michelle and Chloë
