Launched in 2023, the Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships support History teaching in UK Higher Education. The Fellowships are named after Dame Jinty Nelson FBA (1942-2024), President of the Society between 2000 and 2004.<\/p>\n
The call for Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships, for the academic year 2026-27 is now open. <\/strong><\/p>\n Applications for the 2026 round are now invited before the closing date of Friday<\/strong>\u00a010 July 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n For eligibility, please see below. All applications must be submitted via the Society’s applications portal<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Fellowships support historians in Higher Education who wish to introduce new approaches and initiatives to their teaching\u2014and for which funding, at one of three levels (\u00a3500, \u00a31,000 and \u00a31,250 per award)<\/strong>, is required to make this possible. Fellowships may also support those seeking to undertake a short study of an aspect of History teaching in UK Higher Education: for example, within a department or more widely. Recipients are expected to undertake their project within the academic year of the award, with the Fellowship lasting for the duration of the project or period of study.<\/p>\n The 2026-27 Fellowships are supported by the Scouloudi Foundation<\/strong>, to which the Society is very grateful.<\/p>\n The Society defines approaches to teaching broadly for this Fellowship. For example, creation of a wholly new course or aspects of an existing course; provision of new activities within an established course; or assistance for students to undertake project work as part of a course. We also welcome applications that pilot or test new ideas in teaching, and which may not\u2014at this time\u2014become a feature of courses in future years.<\/p>\n By awarding Teaching Fellowships, the Society seeks to support instances of creative teaching practice that may be communicated and adopted by others across History in Higher Education. Upon completion of the Fellowship, recipients will be asked to submit a short report (e.g. for the Society\u2019s blog and online Teaching Portal) offering guidance on their new approach to teaching.<\/p>\n Teaching Fellowships\u00a0may be used to support a range of initiatives to develop a recipient\u2019s teaching. These may include (but are not limited to):<\/p>\n Please note<\/em>: purchase of classroom equipment, technology or other permanent assets is not supported by this award.<\/p>\n Fellowships may equally support a short study relating to History teaching in UK Higher Education, within a department or more widely, and of interest to the wider profession. Approaches may include (but are not limited to):<\/p>\n The Society welcomes applications from teachers of History in UK Higher Education. Applicants must be current Fellows or members of the Royal Historical Society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Fellowships are available to those:<\/p>\n When awarding Fellowships, primary consideration will be given to the proposed quality and value of the new approach to teaching, in tandem with the intended use of the award to support these innovations. In addition, the Society is keen to support historians who lack access to alternative resources (institutional or other) to enhance their teaching, or where funding opportunities are very limited<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Applications for the 2026 round must be submitted via the Society’s applications portal ><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n For questions about the Fellowships, please email: administration@royalhistsoc.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n HEADER IMAGE: iStock, natrot<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Launched in 2023, the Jinty Nelson Teaching Fellowships support History teaching in UK Higher Education.
