The Institute of the Humanities and Global Cultures (IHGC) and the Center for the Liberal Arts (CLA) have selected five teachers as Teacher Fellows. The Fellows have been tasked with considering how IHGC may serve teachers and/or how teachers may contribute to IHGC; they will attend IHGC events in Fall 2025, write up their thoughts, and then meet at a luncheon with IHGC and CLA personnel to discuss their experiences and possible next steps.

The selected fellows are:

Nicole Anderson, Social Studies, Herndon High School, Fairfax
Lisa O. Beadie, English, Fairfax High School, Fairfax
Dingani Mthethwa, US History, Journey Middle School, Albemarle
Michelle Roberts, English, Manor High School, Portsmouth City
Joshua Toth, US Government/US History, Falls Church High School and FCPS Online School, Fairfax
