Welcome to Bryan Kam’s Interintellect Fellowship page!
Below you will find information about Bryan’s thesis, why we are excited about it, and what it means for YOU. At the bottom, you will also find details about upcoming events Bryan is hosting and work from his fellowship (writing, podcast episodes, and more).
Thank you for supporting our Interintellect Fellows.
Learn more about Bryan here and on Twitter.
Bryan’s Thesis: Bryan’s thesis states that philosophical inquiry should be both methodological and consequential: providing a way of seeing the world and a way of acting in it. (You can hear Bryan talk more about “philosophy as methodology” here.)
Why We Think It’s Great: We think that Bryan’s thesis is an important meta-conversation, especially given that Interintellect is a platform where hosts combine the act of thinking with the act of creative doing. In alignment with Bryan’s thesis, we look forward to hearing his practical methods of bridging the brainstorming / thinking phase of philosophical inquiry to the acting / doing phase, and how we can apply this thinking as Interintellect attendees, members, and hosts.
What This Means for YOU: Bryan plans to research his methods with your help! He will be hosting offline members events in London, online events, and showcasing Interintellect members by recording conversations for his podcast, and sharing his ongoing writing and research.

What is the Interintellect Fellowship? Interintellect has launched a microgrant program for 2022-2023. Between October 24, 2022 and February 24, 2023, we will be awarding $5,000 to up to 5 Interintellect members, who will become Interintellect Fellows for 6 months each.
What does being an Interintellect Fellow entail? During the 6 months of the Interintellect Fellowship, we expect Fellows to demonstrate progress in their artistic/intellectual practice. Whether your main focus is your book, newsletter, YouTube channel, performances, exhibitions, or academic work, we’d like to hear from you regularly!
The Fellows will get a dedicated channel in the Interintellect Discord where they can keep the community updated on their work and events. We will also host one or two showcase events for Fellows to present their work to the community, and we’ll regularly share their achievements in the Interintellect Newsletter to ensure their ideas and talent reach as many people as possible.
During each 6 month Fellowship, the grantees will also stay in dialogue with their growing public via hosting monthly Interintellect events: 4 x public online salons, and 2 x members only online events or IRL meetups, each. (Our Fellows will earn income after their ticket sales, as in the case of any regular salon hosted on our platform, whenever they host public online events. See the Interintellect Knowledgebase for more details.)
How can I follow the Interintellect Fellowship winners? You can follow their progress by signing up for Interintellect’s Substack, Newsletter, Twitter, and keeping an eye on our blog.
