THE M. ALISON FRANTZ FELLOWSHIP IN POST-CLASSICAL STUDIES
AT THE GENNADIUS LIBRARY
The Gennadius Library offers the M. Alison Frantz Fellowship in Post-Classical Studies, in
honor of archaeologist, Byzantinist, and photographer M. Alison Frantz (1903–1995), a
scholar of the post-classical Athenian Agora whose photographs of antiquities are widely
used in books on Greek culture.
Eligibility: Ph.D. students at a U.S. or Canadian institution, or those who have earned
the Ph.D. within the last 5 years from a U.S. or Canadian institution. Candidates focused
on Late Antique through Modern Greek Studies, including but not limited to the Byzantine,
Frankish, Post-Byzantine, and Ottoman periods should demonstrate their need to work in the
Gennadius Library.
Terms: A stipend of $11,500 plus room and board in Loring Hall, and waiver of School fees.
Meals, Monday through Friday, are provided at Loring Hall for the fellow. Fellows are
expected to be engaged full-time in the supported research from early September 2023 to
late May 2024, and are expected to participate in the academic life of the School. A final
report is due at the end of the award period, and the ASCSA expects that copies of all
publications that result from research conducted as a Fellow of the ASCSA acknowledge the
