Description
The Clark/Oakley Humanities Fellowship is a prestigious academic-year fellowship offered collaboratively by the Clark Art Institute and the Oakley Center for the Humanities and Social Sciences at Williams College. It is designed for a humanities scholar whose research adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the visual. The fellowship encourages deep engagement with both institutions, providing the fellow with an office at the Oakley Center, residence at the Clark scholars’ facility, and opportunities to participate fully in the intellectual life of both research communities. The program emphasizes cross-institutional scholarship and the bridging of disciplinary boundaries within the humanities and visual studies.
