Graduate Fellows and Grantees

Each year the Humanities Institute supports graduate research and public humanities projects through fellowships and grants. The fellows and grantees form a cohort of students pursuing advanced degrees that are brought together for interdisciplinary seminar sessions over the course of the year.

  • HI Advanced PhD Fellows

    Advanced PhD Fellows are awarded $12,000 each, over the course of the academic year. The HI PhD Fellows participate in works-in-progress seminars, facilitated by the Humanities Institute Director and Interim Director. These seminars are the core of the interdisciplinary focus of the Humanities Institute fellowship program; they are a valuable dialogue for getting feedback on the Fellow's dissertation and for meeting advanced PhD students outside their home departments.
