2022 Marjorie Harding Memorial Fellowship

Sponsored by The Thoreau Society

The 2022 Fellow will receive an award of $1,000 to support research and scholarship. We welcome applications related to projects that advance Thoreau studies or draw on Thoreau’s biography and writings to contribute to related fields (Thoreau’s circle, Transcendentalism, civil disobedience and social justice, environmentalism and conservation, among other topics). We welcome proposals from scholars, teachers, creative artists, and Thoreau enthusiasts. (Graduate students are encouraged to apply for the Thoreau Country Conservation Alliance fellowship.)

In the past, the Thoreau Society Fellowships Committee has given preference to proposals that make use of the Walter Harding Collection at the Thoreau Institute Library in Lincoln, Massachusetts, or other materials held in Concord- and Boston-area archives that are not otherwise accessible. For the 2022 awards cycle, the committee will continue to welcome but will not prioritize applications that propose travel and will also welcome applications that detail any activities necessary to making progress on a project.

Please send to James Finley (james.finley@tamusa.edu) (1) A proposal of no more than one thousand words. (2) Projected budget. (3) Curriculum vitae or resume.

Applications are due by Friday, April 1, 2022. The Fellowships Committee will contact the awardee by the end of April.
