Description
The Christoph Daniel Ebeling Fellowship is jointly administered by the American Antiquarian Society (AAS) and the German Association for American Studies (DGfA). DGfA offers one fellowship for doctoral and postdoctoral candidates in American Studies at German universities to undertake a one- to two-month research residence in Worcester, Massachusetts. AAS’s collections provide broad opportunities to study American history and culture through 1876.
The fellowship supports scholarship that makes appropriate use of these collections and has significance for American Studies generally and in its German context. Alongside collection-based research, the residence offers opportunities for discussion with AAS staff, other fellows, visiting scholars, and faculty at nearby colleges and universities. Past projects have explored early American women’s writing, childhood in the American foreign mission movement, nonhuman agency in early North American media, and nineteenth-century foodways and racialization.
