The Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity & Equity (CRE2) at Washington University in St. Louis has announced six recipients of the 2023 CRE2 Faculty Fellowships.
Launched last year, the fellowships provide faculty with time to pursue new research and scholarly interventions on topics critical to the study of race and ethnicity. Fellows are released from ordinary teaching, service and administrative obligations for the spring semester. During that time, fellows will foster new connections, catalyze new conversations, and both lead and participate in collaborative workshops and seminars with the larger CRE2 community.

- Tyriesa Howell, assistant professor at the Brown School, who will develop “Exploring the Engagement of Father Involvement on the Culture of Infant and Maternal Health in NICU Settings.”
