Society for the Humanities Fellowship Program at Cornell University
The Society for the Humanities at Cornell University which supports
research and encourages imaginative teaching in the humanities,
is accepting applications from scholars and artists for its
fellowship program.
The focal theme for the 2008-2009 program is "Water, A Critical
Concept for the Humanities."
The program calls for scholarly
reflection on critical concepts of water from a broad range of
disciplinary and inter-disciplinary perspectives.
The society
welcomes applications from scholars and artists who theorize,
research, and perform water as a critical concept for the
humanities.
Applicants must have received the Ph.D. degree before January 1,
2008, and must also have one or more years of teaching experience
which may include teaching as a graduate student.
Fellows include scholars from other universities and members of
the Cornell faculty released from regular duties.
The fellowships
are held for one academic year. Each fellow will receive $45,000.
Applicants living outside North America are eligible for an
additional $2,000 to assist with travel costs. Six to eight
fellows will be appointed.
