Robert M. Kingdon Fellowship for 2015-2016
Institute for Research in the Humanities
University of Wisconsin-Madison

DEADLINE: November 1, 2014

The Institute for Research in the Humanities will offer 2-3 Robert M. Kingdon Fellowships to be awarded to a scholar from outside the University of Wisconsin-Madison for 2015-2016. Robert M. Kingdon, a distinguished historian of early modern Europe, generously donated funds to the IRH to support scholarly research in historical, literary, and philosophical studies of Judeo-Christian religious traditions and their role in society from antiquity to the present, broadly understood. Projects may focus on any period from antiquity to the present, on any part of the world, and in any field(s) in the humanities. Projects may range widely or focus on a particular issue. They may explore various forms of Jewish and/or Christian traditions; the interaction of one or both of these religious traditions with other religious traditions; and/or the relationship of one or both of these religious traditions to other aspects of society such as power, politics, culture, experience, creativity, nationality, cosmopolitanism, gender, sexuality, etc. Projects that incorporate consideration of religion’s interaction with society are especially welcome.
