ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIPS

Each year the Stanford Humanities Center offers residential fellowships to as many as thirty fellows, who meet regularly in formal and informal sessions while pursuing their individual study, research, and writing. The Center constitutes an intellectual and social community in which historians, philosophers, scholars of literature and the arts, anthropologists, and other humanists of diverse ages, academic ranks, and departmental and institutional affiliations contribute to and learn from one another's work.

The group of fellows in annual residence at the Center in recent years has included about eight members from Stanford's faculty, eight faculty members from other colleges and universities, and eight Stanford graduate students. Additionally, up to six Stanford undergraduates per year are awarded fellowships to work on collaborative research projects with faculty fellows.

Graduate student and faculty fellows have offices at the Center, within a short walk of the center of campus and Green Library, and meet together regularly for lunch, seminars, and workshops. While spending most of their time researching and writing books, articles, and dissertations, fellows also contribute to the Stanford community by participating in research workshops, giving lectures, teaching courses, and taking part in conferences.

Center fellows are chosen competitively by selection committees. The committee that selects faculty fellows is made up of experts drawn from a variety of disciplines both at Stanford and at other universities.
