Description
The Clark/Oakley Humanities Fellowship is a collaborative residency program between Williams College's Oakley Center and the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. It is designed for national and international humanities scholars whose research takes an interdisciplinary approach to visual studies—encompassing visual culture, art, and visual media. Fellows benefit from office space at the Oakley Center, housing at the Clark scholars' residence, and full integration into the intellectual communities of both institutions. The program fosters advanced research through weekly forums and scholarly engagement, supporting projects that meaningfully explore the visual from a humanities or social science perspective.
