Yale in London offers Yale University undergraduate students an opportunity to take Yale courses at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art in London. Classes are small (fifteen students maximum) and are delivered in a seminar style that offers students a unique opportunity to learn and discuss key course themes with their professors. Faculty for the programme consists of Yale faculty, research staff at the Paul Mellon Centre and academics based in the UK.
The Yale in London programme consists of one longer Spring Term and two shorter Summer Sessions each year, and is structured as follows:
We are currently seeking UK-based faculty for our spring and summer courses from spring 2025 through summer 2026.
Applicants are invited to propose courses for any of the terms and sessions between spring 2025 and summer 2026, and may apply for more than one term. Courses should be in the humanities, especially in the fields of art history, history, literature, politics and architecture. Courses must make use of collections and resources (museums, archives, other institutions) in London and elsewhere in the UK and/or use UK-based sites as a part of the course. We encourage courses that have an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach and topics related to Britain’s colonial history are welcome.
Experiential learning is critical to the Yale in London programme, and applicants are encouraged to suggest potential trips, workshops and guest speakers as part of their proposal. The Centre’s staff will be available to support planning and delivery of day trips as well as longer trips within the UK.
Responsibilities include:
