The program will run from 2005-2008. Each year, one non-renewable 12-month fellowship will be awarded, working under the supervision of Prof. Will Kymlicka. The fellowship is part of a larger nexus of activities at Queen's relating to the normative and empirical study of democracy and diversity, including the Forum for Philosophy and Public Policy; the Research Group on Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multicultural Citizenship (www.queensu.ca/politics/rgonemc); the Fulbright Visiting Professorship in Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multicultural Citizenship; the Centre for the Study of Democracy; and the Institute of Intergovernmental Relations - all of which have active programs of workshops, conferences and visiting scholars and speakers. The Fellow would be expected to participate in these various activities as appropriate, including presentation of his or her research findings, and to assist Prof. Kymlicka in the Forum's activities. The Fellow would also be expected to do some teaching (two half-courses).

Tenured and tenure-track faculty members total 683, of whom 95 percent have doctoral or terminal degrees in their disciplines. The University has committed financial resources, faculty, staff and facilities to the goal of providing the premier undergraduate education in the state of Illinois. Beginning in the fall of 1998, the entire freshman class will participate in a newly adopted, innovative General Education curriculum designed to ensure that all students possess the critical thinking and communication skills needed for upper-level courses, graduate or professional study, and the workplace of the future.
An important characteristic of Illinois State University is its dual emphases on teaching and research. New initiatives to enrich teaching and student achievement such as the General Education Program (1997), the faculty-led Center for the Advancement of Teaching (1996), and the comprehensive student support unit, University College (1996), are complemented by the University's research commitment. Illinois State's five colleges (Applied Science and Technology, Arts and Sciences, Business, Education , and Fine Arts) and two laboratory schools attracted more than $10 million in external funding in fiscal 1997. Milner Library supports scholarship and learning at Illinois State, with more than 3 million special holdings and collections; the Library is also a central node of interlibrary service through the Illinois Library Network and OCLC. Opportunities for teaching and research have increased with the opening this year of a new, $36 million Science Laboratory Building. A new performing arts center has been funded and is being designed.
Illinois State University's 850-acre campus is located in Bloomington-Normal, a prosperous community of 100,000 situated midway between Chicago and St. Louis. Bloomington-Normal/McLean County's diverse, stable and recession-resistant economy has its strength in insurance, education, agribusiness, and manufacturing. The region traditionally has one of the lowest unemployment rates and one of the highest wage bases in the state. McLean County is a Midwestern crossroads: Three interstate routes, an Amtrak rail corridor, and a regional airport offering commuter and jet service to major national and international destinations converge in Bloomington-Normal. There is a long tradition of higher education in Bloomington-Normal, which is home to two universities, two two-year colleges, and a school of nursing. A community that values education at all levels, Bloomington-Normal has outstanding public school systems.
