Schilde Named Center For Teaching and Learning Fellow
Kaija Schilde, Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was selected from among 40 applicants to participate in a six-week summer fellowship at the Center for Teaching and Learning designed to inspire creative changes in classrooms across Boston University.
The fellowship, which was detailed in a recent article by BU Today, included a $6,000 stipend and ran for six weeks concurrently with the first summer term. Proposals from applicants covered a wide range of topics, including improving class videos to fine-tuning collaborations among students.
In addition to weekly group conversations over lunch and dinner at Silber Way, the fellows also had weekly one-on-one meetings with Center for Teaching and Learning Director Matthew Trevett-Smith, focusing on data-based resources specific to their projects. When classes start in September, Trevett-Smith will check back in with the fellows to assist with self-assessment.

Schilde’s research interests involve European and transatlantic security, the political economy of defense and security markets and industries, EU lobbies and interest groups, and the role of private nonstate actors in national and international security. Learn more about her here.
