Every week, Perspectives Daily showcases a new grant, fellowship, or scholarship that has been posted to our free community calendar. This week we are featuring the Martin Duberman Visiting Fellowship.

Criteria

The Martin Duberman Visiting Scholar program at The New York Public Library fosters excellence in LGBT studies by providing funds for scholars to do research in the Library’s preeminent LGBT historical collections. The fellowship is open to both academic faculty and independent scholars who have made a significant contribution to the field. Applicants must be either U.S. citizens or permanent residents, with the right to work in the United States. The recipient of the award will receive $25,000 to fund their research at the Library. The awardee will be expected to spend a minimum of three months researching at the Library and at other archives relevant to their topic in the New York City area, to give a public talk on their work, and to write a short piece about their project for the Library’s website. To be considered for the fellowship, applicants should send a research proposal of 5-10 pages, their updated Curriculum Vitae, an example of their research (article or book chapter), and an appropriate letter of recommendation. Applications should be sent as one pdf file to Jason Baumann, jasonbaumann@nypl.org.
