The C.V. Starr Center Fellowships at Washington College
Source: C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience (8-14-08)
The C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience invites applications for its fulltime residential fellowships, which support outstanding writing on American history and culture by both scholars and nonacademic authors.
The Center’s Patrick Henry Fellowship includes a $45,000 stipend, health benefits, faculty privileges, a book allowance, and a nine-month residency (during the academic year 2009-10) in a restored circa-1735 house in historic Chestertown, Md.
Prospective recipients of the Patrick Henry Fellowship should have a significant book-length project currently in progress. The project should address the history and/or legacy – broadly defined – of the American Revolution and the nation’s founding ideas. It might focus on the founding era itself, or on the myriad ways the questions that preoccupied the framers have shaped the nation’s development between the 18th century and the present. Work that contributes to ongoing national conversations about America’s past and present, with the potential to reach a wide public, is particularly sought.
Applications from writers and historians at any stage in their careers are welcome. (However, this is not a fellowship for the completion of a doctoral degree; dissertation projects will not be considered.) Candidates who have completed the majority of their research and are focused on the writing phase of their projects are especially encouraged to apply.
The C.V. Starr Center, located at Washington College in Chestertown, Md., is an interdisciplinary center dedicated to fostering innovative approaches to the American past, and to promoting excellent writing on history, for general as well as academic audiences. The 2009-10 Patrick Henry Fellow will maintain fulltime residence in Chestertown throughout the term of the award, although short-term research travel is also permitted. (Chestertown is located on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, approximately 90 minutes from Washington and Philadelphia, and three hours from New York City.) The fellow will teach a one-semester undergraduate seminar at Washington College and give at least one public lecture or workshop related to his or her work. In addition to use of the fellowship residence (which is large enough to accommodate a family), the fellow will also receive office space in the 18th-century waterfront Custom House, home of the C.V. Starr Center. The fellowship must begin before September 9, 2009.
Applications should include the following:
A cover letter;
The applicant’s curriculum vitae, including a list of past publications, as well as the names and telephone numbers of at least three references;
At least one substantial sample of the candidate’s writing (published or unpublished);
A short (1-2 paragraph) description of a course that the candidate might teach;
A brief but persuasive narrative description of the work-in-progress, its potential contributions to ongoing national conversations or debates, and the candidate’s plan for his or her fellowship year.
For more information, visit http://starrcenter.washcoll.edu/fellows/index.php.
Questions may be directed to Associate Director Jill Ogline at jogline2@washcoll.edu.
Deadline for applications is January 15, 2009. Applications may be submitted via email to starr_center@washcoll.edu, or mailed to:
Director
C.V. Starr Center Fellowships
The Custom House
101 South Water Street
