Dear Colleagues,
The University at Buffalo Humanities Institute, in collaboration with
the UB Libraries, is offering two fellowships for visiting scholars
and graduate students working on their dissertations to use the UB
Libraries' outstanding special collections, which include the Poetry
Collection, University Archives, Rare Books, the Music Library, the
Polish Collection, and the History of Medicine Collection.
Follow this link to find out more about some of the more notable
collections in the UB Libraries:
http://humanitiesinstitute.buffalo.edu/fellowshipsresearch/LibraryCollectio…
The fellowships provide stipends to cover the cost of fellows' travel
to Buffalo and accommodation and expenses during the time of their
stay. In addition to the stipend, Fellows will receive library and
parking privileges at UB and are invited to participate in any
Humanities Institute events that occur during the time of their visit.
If feasible, Fellows are invited to give one public lecture on their
research. Fellows are also asked to submit a one page, single-spaced
report on the value of having used the collection at UB that will be
posted on the Humanities Institute website.
The timing and duration of the Fellows' residence in Buffalo are
flexible, though we would anticipate a minimum stay of two weeks. Both
graduate students at an advanced stage of dissertation research and
more senior scholars are invited to apply.
The James Joyce Fellowship: The stipend is up to $2,000 for scholars
and graduate students whose research is centered on the writings of
James Joyce, Modernism, Joyce-related research, research on Sylvia
Beach, Modernist publishers, Modernist genetic criticism, Joyce's
literary circle, his literary colleagues, or his influences.
The Charles D. Abbott Library Fellowship: The stipend is up to $4,000
for scholars and graduate students whose research would be enhanced by
any of the books, manuscripts or unique documents in the UB Libraries
special collections, which include materials from the Poetry
Collection, University Archives, Rare Books, the Polish Collection,
the Music Library, and the History of Medicine Collection.
Please note that applicants may apply for only one fellowship per academic year.
