Being in fellowship is a powerful vehicle for change. By bringing together researchers, practitioners, and community leaders with diverse perspectives, our year-long fellowship program creates space for new collaborations and insights that wouldn’t emerge in isolation. Fellows challenge one another, share knowledge across fields, and deepen their ability to communicate complexity in public life.
2026-2027 Fellows
The Trust + Storytelling fellowship is a nine-month experience that brings together academics, artists, journalists, and organizers to explore the power of storytelling for social impact. Supported by BU’s Center for Humanities, BU’s College of Communication, and the Mellon Foundation, the program aims to support fellows in transforming humanistic research, organizational practices, and data into meaningful and effective stories.
2025-2026 Fellows
Our 2025-2026 fellows are a dynamic cohort of Boston University faculty and practitioners in and around the Boston area. A mix of scholars, activists, creatives, and community leaders, this year’s 15 fellows are each working to advance and reimagine climate communication that results in greater public trust.
