Never ask postdocs what they'll be doing next year, that's considered terribly offensive in their culture.

The ICDP is a partnership between 6 institutions: CSU Bakersfield; DePauw University; Harvard; St. Philip’s College; Santa Fe College; & Stanford. Together, they offer a yearlong fellowship for undergrads focused on cultivating moral, civic, & intellectual virtues to engage in meaningful dialogues.

With funding from the Educating Character Initiative, ICDP will grow significantly over the next 3 years. We will develop a shareable database of training materials & pedagogical tools, pilot its dialogue model across campuses, & recruit 30–45 new institutions to form additional dialogue cohorts.

I am so grateful for so many wonderful people who have helped support my academic career, but especially: @kristophergphillips.com, @alimhasan.bsky.social, Marc Marenco, Evan Dutmer, & Richard Fumerton.

Wish me luck in both finishing my dissertation & finding a place to live in Boston by August!
