Race, Racism, and the Liberal Arts
We are investigating and assembling work on underrepresented histories of how Black people, institutions, and ideas have existed outside of, pushed against, or reshaped from within the ideas and institutions of the liberal arts.
Podalot – The Aydelotte Podcast
Podalot is the podcast of the Aydelotte Foundation at Swarthmore College, an interdisciplinary research center that supports the creation and dissemination of knowledge about liberal arts education as it exists across the broadest possible range of contexts and institutions.
Scholarly Promotion
The Aydelotte Foundation and Swarthmore College Libraries can help you plan a launch event for the Swarthmore community, your extended disciplinary interlocutors, and/or the wider public.
Interdisciplinary Initiatives Development Grant
This grant program offers funding for interdisciplinary programs and departments to research, develop, and strengthen interdisciplinary curricula within their unit and/or across the College.
Courses
Courses and the curriculum as a whole are at the heart of the Aydelotte Foundation’s mission.
Curricular Grants
Curricular Grants support Swarthmore faculty developing assignments, projects, or entire courses that include research, writing, discussion, and reflection on topics related to the history, present, and future of liberal arts and/or higher education.

Events

Aydelotte Foundation Cafe
Kohlberg Hall Scheuer Room - Multi-Purpose Room
Our first cafe of the fall semester will feature Erin Brownlee Dell, Chief of Staff & Secretary of the College, and will take place from noon to 1:00pm on Tuesday, September 12th in the Scheuer Room.
Tuesday Cafes are a chance for faculty and staff to come together for a light lunch and some learning. Talks are aimed at a general audience and include plenty of time for Q&A. The current format is a cross between Vogue’s 73 questions and a Reddit “Ask Me Anything.” Each informal interview session features a faculty or staff member answering questions about what they do (and don’t do) every day. We hope it's a fun and interesting way to learn about the profound and mundane dimensions of the different kinds of work done at Swarthmore.
Boxed lunches will be provided. Open to all faculty and staff.
RSVP’s are encouraged but not required. If you plan on attending, let us know here.
See you there!
