Submissions are currently being accepted for the Public Humanities Fellowship, aimed at generating innovative ideas in the field of public humanities and forging connections between creative approaches and the public value of humanities research.
The Public Humanities Fellowship, hosted by the School of Advanced Study at the University of London, seeks to facilitate collaboration among scholars, the public, and broader arts and humanities communities. It aims to increase the visibility and impact of humanities research across a wide range of audiences.
Fellows selected for this program will have the opportunity to work towards advancing the public humanities agenda in the UK and globally. They will play a role in supporting the School’s mission to promote and progress the humanities. Possible areas of exploration may include the values and practices of public humanities, ethical considerations in the face of societal changes, the resilience of public humanities in the face of resource constraints, cultural heritage, public memory, and related topics.
The Fellowship is designed to contribute to the vibrant and outward-looking culture of the School by encouraging fresh perspectives on the public value of the humanities. It aims to engage disciplinary communities and broader audiences in novel and creative ways.
Objectives of the program include fostering innovation and growth in Public Humanities in the UK and internationally, developing projects that stimulate public dialogue and enhance the impact of humanities research, and building a dynamic interdisciplinary community within the School. The Fellowship also emphasizes the importance of creating a community of fellows to encourage shared learning, interdisciplinary conversations, and creative interactions.
Participants in the Fellowship can look forward to benefits such as becoming part of a community of influential figures across various fields, a three-year appointment as an associate fellow of the University of London, access to networks of senior scholars and practitioners, and workspace and library facilities in Senate House, Bloomsbury.
Eligibility criteria for applicants include having a notable track record of engaging with the public on humanities-related issues and achieving recognition for their work. The humanities are broadly defined to include areas such as classics, arts, culture, history, languages, literature, philosophy, politics, religion, and visual arts.
Interested individuals are required to submit a curriculum vitae outlining their achievements in Public Humanities, along with a proposal detailing how they plan to utilize the Fellowship to advance initiatives in Public Humanities.
