2019 FPA Teaching Fellowship Award

This award provides full-time FPA faculty and instructors an opportunity to innovate and demonstrate leadership in teaching, as well as to reward teaching excellence. The Fellowship is awarded on the basis of a candidate’s teaching record and on a project proposal focused on teaching innovation.

Professor Power received the fellowship for his proposal to use popular culture in the teaching of introductory Economics.

“The committee particularly noted Simon’s impressive commitment to teaching and, as one member noted, his [evident] gift for conveying complex ideas,” said Professor Mendeloff.

“Receiving the FPA Teaching Fellowship further reinvigorated my long-standing passion for teaching, which is, after all, the very raison d’être of the university,” says Power. “Good teaching does not simply involve the transmission of knowledge, perhaps even more importantly it also opens new doors, fosters creativity, expands horizons, nurtures resilience, and underpins the foundations of our great liberal society.”
