# Fellows

The Berkeley Fellowship consists of members of the Yale Faculty, as well as members of the Yale administration, Berkeley College alumni, and other distinguished figures in the community. Fellows can meet informally in the Dining Hall for lunch, and they are invited to dine in Berkeley’s Swiss Room on several occasions throughout each semester.

The Fellowship offers a forum for scholars from different departments and disciplines to gather and discuss ideas. It also offers students the opportunity to meet with members of the faculty and the community in an atmosphere less formal than the classroom. The Fellows are generally eager to engage with students to discuss academic and other matters. If you are interested in making a connection with one of the Berkeley Fellows, consider asking them to join you for lunch in the Dining Hall, or attending an upcoming Fellows’ meeting.

## **Resident Fellows**

In 2020, Camille received the Richard H. Brodhead ’68 Prize for Teaching Excellence; in 2018 she was awarded Mentor of the Year from Berkeley College. She teaches The Screenwriter’s Craft, Classical Hollywood Narrative, and is a frequent thesis mentor in Film and Media Studies. Camille has had a long career as a storyteller for film and television.

## Lacina Coulibaly

**Lacina Coulibaly**is Lecturer in Theater and Performance Studies at Yale.  He was born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. His professional dance career, deeply rooted in traditional African dances, later merged with contemporary influences to create a uniquely African choreographic expression. His unique blend of traditional and modern influences results in dynamic intellectual and artistic processes that intrigue and inspire young artists and audiences. Lacina’s choreography often provokes questions of the (dis)integration of the traditional and the contemporary.
