About Telluride:
Telluride House is a merit-based residential fellowship committed to establishing a vibrant community supporting democratic ideals of self-governance, a stimulating intellectual environment, and a commitment to public service. Housemembers (all on room and board scholarship at the House) range from freshman to Ph.D students, and are joined in residence by faculty fellows from several fields. By living with a commitment to our self-governing community, Telluride House strives to foster the moral and intellectual growth of its members. Past winners of the Telluride fellowship include a diverse set of luminaries such as philosopher Francis Fukuyama, postmodern scholar Gayatri Spivak, World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, Dean of Stanford Law School Kathleen Sullivan, Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, gender and queer theory scholar Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and several Nobel Prize winners including Steven Weinberg, Linus Pauling, and Richard Feynman.
