Conference
Newly awarded Ford Foundation Fellows are invited to attend the annual Conference of Ford Fellows, a unique national conference of a select group of high-achieving scholars committed to diversifying the professoriate and using diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students.
Academic Exchange Series
The Academic Exchange Series provides a platform for fellows to present their research findings within their respective disciplines, fostering a vibrant culture of collaboration and constructive critique. Each presenter is allocated 20 minutes to showcase their research, followed by an interactive 30-minute segment for fellow attendees to engage in an exchange of questions, insights, and feedback. Guiding these discussions are distinguished moderators drawn from the Ford alumni community, leveraging their expertise to steer conversations toward fruitful exploration and scholarly discourse.
