The Rockefeller Foundation Humanities Fellowships
2002-2003

The Program

The fellowships support scholars and writers engaged in research on global social and cultural issues relating to diversity, sustainability and civil society. For 2002-2003, individuals can apply for resident fellowships at the 24 host institutions listed. Institutional applications are encouraged for students in the humanities that seek to understand global interactions and to analyze the impact of the mobility of ideas and people on an increasingly global civil society. The Foundation, in providing these fellowships, seeks to promote the interdisciplinary dialogue that is the hallmark of new scholarship in these areas, to provide resources and encouragement to innovating scholars, and to fortify the institutions that are advancing this work.

Application

By Individual

The fellowships are designed to serve scholars who are testing disciplinary boundaries or moving into newer fields of inquiry within the humanities. The majority of time will be spent on pursuing one's own research toward publication but residency may also involve participation in seminars, conferences or other collaborative activities within the host program. Awards may not be used for the completion of graduate studies, advanced training, or for writing poetry or fiction. For complete information about eligibility, stipends and procedures for application is available directly from current host institutions listed below.

By Institutions

Applications are invited from various programs in colleges, universities and other institutions (i.e., libraries, museums and community cultural spaces) of value to international or intercultural scholarship in the humanities. Programs that address particular interests of: social construction of race, gender, ethnicity and religion; the consequences of diasporas, migration and new forms of citizenship; or the resilience of social systems and how cultures regenerate themselves.

Institutions intending to apply should submit a brief letter describing the focus of the proposal by December 3, 2001. Applications must be completed and received by February 1, 2002.

Since applications require an essay (10-15 pgs) and supporting materials, applicants are advised to request additional information (application packet and detailed instructions) well in advance of the deadline at:
