The Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities invite proposals from advanced graduate students throughout the University in support of civically engaged, public-facing scholarship. The year-long fellowship provides workshops in the methods and approaches of the public humanities, mentorship and advice, networking opportunities, and financial support to assist the Fellow in implementing a pubic humanities project of their own design, in partnership with one or more community partners. The skills and experiences afforded by the fellowship are intended to serve scholars who have a record of working with the public as well as those who are starting to explore the public humanities. It is equally valuable for scholars who plan to pursue careers within the academy and those who plan to pursue other paths.
The SOF/Heyman will support, with $4,000 research allowances, the development of four projects proposed by Columbia graduate students for the fellowship competition.
ELIGIBILITY: Applicants must be PhD students at Columbia University.
