IPRH accepting proposals for annual fellowships through Dec. 4

Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities is accepting proposals for the 2016-17 IPRH fellowship year, which has announced the theme of “Publics.” The deadline for proposals is Dec. 4.

IPRH welcomes applications from all disciplines and departments with an interest in humanities and humanities-inflected research. Applications are welcome from faculty members and graduate students that focus on any aspect of publics. The theme also provides an opportunity for artists to consider the relevance of publics in their creative practice. IPRH is especially interested in fostering interdisciplinary work.

All fellows are expected to maintain residence on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus during the award year and to participate in IPRH activities, including the yearlong Fellows Seminar. 

Complete fellowship application guidelines for 2016–17 can be found on the IPRH website (Faculty/Graduate Students). Applications must be submitted through an online application portal. No paper or email applications or letters of recommendation will be accepted.
