Humanities Unbounded Visiting Faculty Fellows Applications Now Being Accepted for 2019-20

Since 2011, we have hosted 27 faculty from HBCUs and Liberal Arts Colleges for year‐long fellowships under Humanities Writ Large. The Fellowships have underscored the role of the humanities as an engine for knowledge production. Under Humanities Unbounded, funded by the Mellon Foundation, we will be offering additional Visiting Faculty Fellowships, this time in a two‐year model.  The first year will again be a residential fellowship that is tied to an on‐going humanities lab (whether a Humanities Unbounded departmental lab or an interdisciplinary humanities lab based at the Franklin Humanities Institute) or other Duke department, program, institute, initiative, or center. The residential experience will be followed by a second year in which Fellows may draw on resources from a consultancy fund to bring newfound research approaches to their home institution and, where appropriate, continue their collaborations with Duke partners.

Applications Are Now Being Accepted

Interested faculty should contact Humanities Unbounded to begin a conversation about how to find a point of connection with the Duke scholarly community. Applications are due January 7, 2019 for the 2019-20 academic year. Selected Fellows will be notified in February 2019. Faculty may also begin looking for potential Duke partners by searching keywords for their research area in the “With all these words” box at Scholars@Duke.

Resources While at Duke

Humanities Unbounded includes significant staff support and other resources for our Visiting Faculty Fellows. This includes access to all holdings of Duke University Libraries and the assistance of our subject area librarians; the support of our team of digital humanities technology consultants and PhD students trained in digital resources; a hosted talk at the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute; office space; and a collegial community of scholars and teachers eager to engage with new colleagues.

Financial Details

The Fellowship covers salary (up to $100,000) and fringe benefits, paid to the home institution, $5,000 in research funds for use on the Fellow’s project, $2,500 to spend in partnership with the Duke partner on a project of their mutual choosing, and $1,500 for travel of other staff from the home institution to visit Duke for consultation on how the work at Duke can be adapted back into the life of the home institution. In addition, Fellows will be brought to campus during spring semester before their Fellowship for a visit to meet with Duke partners and consider housing options. (Duke does not provide housing.) In the second year, each Fellow will have access to $10,000 to be used as needed for post-residency support.

The grant also includes funding for Duke to host all Fellows from both Humanities Unbounded and Humanities Writ Large Fellows at two conferences, slated for Spring 2021 and Spring 2023.

We anticipate accepting four Fellows each for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 academic years, and three Fellows in 2021-22.
