Subject: Public Humanities Fellowship Opportunity (External- Virginia Humanities; four-month residential or virtual fellowship)
Dear Colleagues,
We write to highlight a Public Humanities Fellowship opportunity, sponsored by Virginia Humanities: https://virginiahumanities.org/fellowships/public-humanities-fellowships/
If you'd like to apply,
we'd be glad to meet to discuss your application and support your project in any way we can.
Here's an overview of the fellowship and application cycle:
All Public Humanities Fellows will receive a
$15,000 stipend to support their projects. If desired, Fellows may complete their four-month fellowship in residence—at Virginia Humanities’ public humanities center in Charlottesville, or the Library of Virginia in Richmond—or virtually.
Fellows will receive access to both the University of Virginia’s library system and the archives available at the Library of Virginia to complete their projects. They will become part of a community
of fellows working on innovative humanities topics in the public interest and will have the opportunity to share their ideas with other fellows working in related fields. They will also have the opportunity to participate in programs such as our With Good
Reason radio show and podcast, Virginia Festival of the Book’s Shelf Life, and the Library of Virginia’s UncommonWealth blog.
Preference will be given to projects that
engage the public in meaningful and creative ways and explore issues around public humanities topics related to subjects such as history, literature, religion, community stories.
