Description

The new Long-term Public Humanities Fellowship is designed to draw on the strengths of the Folger’s collections, exhibitions, and programming themes. The fellow will be expected to devote 75% of their residency to research and 25% to implementing public humanities engagement for Folger audiences, in cooperation with Folger Institute staff. Applicants must propose and detail four touchstones of public humanities engagement they will develop and implement during their residency. Applicants may apply for one, two, or three months of research support, with a stipend of $4,000 per month, taken any time between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026. Fellows have the option to take their residence fully onsite at the Folger, fully virtual, or a combination of the two. Applicants may propose the research schedule that best fits their project’s needs.
