The Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience at Washington College invites applications for its part-time residential fellowship, which supports outstanding work on literature, culture, or art of the Americas before 1830, by academics, independent scholars and writers. Candidates with a U.S. history topic are strongly encouraged to concentrate on the period prior to 1801. The fellowship is also open to filmmakers, novelists, creative and performing artists, and others working on projects that draw on this period of history.

The Hodson Trust – John Carter Brown Library Fellowship award supports two months of research and two months of writing. The stipend is $5,000 per month for a total of $20,000, plus housing and university privileges.

Candidates are encouraged to consult the John Carter Brown Library’s collections online prior to submitting an application. Special consideration will be given to proposals discussing specific resources at the JCBL that will be useful to the project.

Applications are due March 15, 2021. Please visit our webpage for more detailed information and application instructions.
